The State Rebuilding Civil Society: Constitutionalism And The Post-Communist Paradox, Ethan Klingsberg
The State Rebuilding Civil Society: Constitutionalism And The Post-Communist Paradox, Ethan Klingsberg
Michigan Journal of International Law
Part I of this article provides an overview of trends in the intellectual history of civil society theory in the West. Since the rejection of the classical notion of a unified State and civil society, Western commentators have focused their analyses on State action's effect upon modern civil society. In reaction to the dangers of State co-optation of civil society's autonomy, social critics have proposed a range of solutions, such as limitations on State power to interfere in areas like property rights and the assumption of power by a universal class. Part II reviews Soviet bloc dissidents' contributions to civil …

Michigan Journal of International Law
The one-party systems in Africa have drawn negative reactions from Western States that provide economic aid.

In this connection, the article asks whether the rights of association and political freedom as developed in Europe can fairly be applied to Africa, given its historical experience.

Part II will discuss the evolution of the constitutional relationship between the Czechs and the Slovaks from the constitution of the first Czechoslovak Republic to the current constitutional reforms of the CSFR. This analysis will show the emerging …

Note, The Death Penalty In Late Imperial, Modern, And Post-Tiananmen China, Alan W. Lepp
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper seeks to explore the crucial determinants that shape the Chinese legal system's use of the death penalty. Why have the Chinese relied so heavily on execution as a form of sentencing? What factors and conditions account for the major changes in the frequency of China's use of the death penalty? What indigenous traditions are reflected in China's implementation of the death penalty? In order to inquire into the role and function of the legal system in affecting the severity of criminal punishment in China, this study will focus on only those death sentences carried out by the state …
