This book analyses under-researched institutions and practices in China?s criminal justice system, arguing that derogations from the rule of law constitute an organic component of the legal order. Hidden behind the law, there lies sovereign power, a power premised on the choice to handle certain issues through procedures that derogate from rights. This theoretically sophisticated study overcomes the current impasses in analyses of China?s criminal justice. The result is an highly innovative reading of law and legality in the PRC, useful to scholars of contemporary China, mainstream political theorists, philosophers of law and policy makers. \'This important book heralds a new chapter in the comparative study of Chinese law and society...it presents and analyses a tremendous wealth of information, above all from contemporary Chinese sources...[the book] provides a new basis for deeper comparisons of the emerging Chinese 'reforming Leninist' model with the 'rule of law' and its suspension in Western countries.\' - Magnus Fiskesjö, Cornell University 410 0$aChina studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 18. 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zChina 606 $aLaw enforcement$zChina 606 $aSovereignty$zChina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of 615 0$aLaw enforcement 615 0$aSovereignty 676 $a364.951 701 $aSapio$b Flora$0690610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460431003321 996 $aSovereign power and the law in China$92039235 997 $aUNINA
