Can The West Learn From The Rest?' The Chinese Legal Order's Hybrid Modernity, Nicholas Howson
Can The West Learn From The Rest?' The Chinese Legal Order's Hybrid Modernity, Nicholas Howson
Nicholas Howson
I am asked to present on the "shortcomings of the Western model of legality based on a professionalized, individualistic and highly formalistic approach to justice" as a way to understanding if "the West can develop today a form of legality which is relational rather than based on litigation as a zero sum game, learning from face to face social organizations in which individuals understand the law" - presumably in the context of the imperial and modem Chinese legal systems which I know best as a scholar and have lived for many years as a resident of the modem identity of …
The Study Of Chinese Law In The United States: Reflections On The Past And Concerns About The Future, Stanley Lubman
The Study Of Chinese Law In The United States: Reflections On The Past And Concerns About The Future, Stanley Lubman
Stanley Lubman
I first survey the development and current state of the field by reviewing American scholarship on some major areas of Chinese law from those early days up to the present. Then, against this background, I comment on the current scene and address the challenges that Chinese law continues to present to Western attempts at understanding China.
China's Judicial System And Judicial Reform, Nicholas Howson
China's Judicial System And Judicial Reform, Nicholas Howson
Nicholas Howson
The following is an extract from the statement delivered by Michigan Law School Professor Nicholas Howson at the inaugural “China-U.S. Rule of Law Dialogue” held at Beijing’s Tsinghua University July 29-30, 2010, and convened by Tsinghua Law Dean Wang Zhenmin and Harvard Law School Professor and East Asian Legal Studies Director William Alford, and with the support of the China-United States Exchange Foundation chaired by C.H. Tung, first chief executive and president of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The dialogue was organized as a private meeting between senior PRC law professors and U.S.-based Chinese law …
Bird In A Cage: Chinese Law Reform After Twenty Years, Stanley Lubman
Bird In A Cage: Chinese Law Reform After Twenty Years, Stanley Lubman
Stanley Lubman
When I wrote in 1979, it was easy to summarize the state of Chinese legal institutions because they were so sparse. Although a judicial system had been created on the Soviet model in the 1950s, it had been politicized by the end of that decade after a brief period of liberalization, and then further wrecked by the Cultural Revolution. A new period of institution-building began in 1979; reconstruction of the courts began and the law schools, closed for a decade, reopened. Most fundamentally, the policies of the Chinese leadership seemed to promise, as I noted then, "attempts to conceptualize and …
Merger Control Under China's Anti-Monopoly Law, D. Daniel Sokol
Merger Control Under China's Anti-Monopoly Law, D. Daniel Sokol
D. Daniel Sokol
This essay explores the factors that drive merger outcomes under China's Anti-Monopoly Law (AML). While there are currently only a small number of published merger decisions, this paper overcomes that obstacle by utilizing a unique practitioner survey of antitrust lawyers across multiple jurisdictions. This survey captures transactions contemplated, but never undertaken (deterred by the merger regime), as well as mergers notified for approval under the AML. The survey allows for broader inferences to be drawn about the development of Chinese antitrust law, including: the welfare standard used in merger analysis, what industrial policy and other political factors may impact merger …

Luis González Vaqué
En esta obra colectiva, diversos especialistas de reconocido prestigio en el ámbito del Derecho alimentario nos ofrecen un análisis riguroso y actual de los temas más importantes de dicha disciplina jurídica. Entre ellos destacan:
• La necesaria mejora y simplificación de la legislación europea.
• La falta de reacción rápida y eficaz por parte de las instituciones de la UE en caso de grave crisis económica y social (como la provocada por la prohibición rusa de importar determinados productos alimenticios).
• La información alimentaria, a la que se dedican seis capítulos, relativos a las expectativas de los consumidores, las dificultades …
Private Regulation And Foreign Conduct, Adam I. Muchmore
Private Regulation And Foreign Conduct, Adam I. Muchmore
Adam I. Muchmore
Current U.S. policy on safety regulation for imported food is based largely on ex post measures. Several reform proposals seek to strengthen the ex ante component of this regulatory program. These proposals rely on one or more of three basic strategies: direct extraterritorial regulation; delegation of regulatory authority to private entities; and delegation of regulatory authority to foreign government agencies. This paper explores the ability of each strategy to respond to several principal-agent problems relevant to imported-food safety: the regulatory license problem; interest group capture; and the reality of bribery and threats in many food-exporting countries. Through the lens of …
Beyond Ownership: State Capitalism And The Chinese Firm, Curtis J. Milhaupt, Wentong Zheng
Beyond Ownership: State Capitalism And The Chinese Firm, Curtis J. Milhaupt, Wentong Zheng
Wentong Zheng
Chinese state capitalism has been treated as essentially synonymous with state-owned enterprises (SOEs). But drawing a stark distinction between SOEs and privately owned enterprises (POEs) misperceives the reality of China’s institutional environment and its impact on the formation and operation of large enterprises of all types. We challenge the “ownership bias” of prevailing analyses of Chinese firms by exploring the blurred boundary between SOEs and POEs in China. We argue that the Chinese state has less control over SOEs and more control over POEs than its ownership interest in the firms suggests. Our analysis indicates that Chinese state capitalism can …
The Dumping Dragon: Analysing China's Evolving Anti-Dumping Behaviour, Umair H. Ghori
The Dumping Dragon: Analysing China's Evolving Anti-Dumping Behaviour, Umair H. Ghori
Umair H. Ghori
China is a major target for anti-dumping measures by both developed and developing countries. Its rapid industrial transition to higher value-added sectors brings it in direct conflict with the US and the EU. Anti-dumping measures have consistently been employed by the US and the EU to protect their domestic markets from encroaching Chinese exports. In the initial few years of joining the WTO, China rarely initiated any complaint in the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM), while facing several complaints itself. This approach has now evolved. China appears to have acquired the knowledge and capacity to access the WTO DSM for …
From Pirates To Partners (Episode Ii): Protecting Intellectual Property In Post-Wto China, Peter K. Yu
From Pirates To Partners (Episode Ii): Protecting Intellectual Property In Post-Wto China, Peter K. Yu
Peter K. Yu
In From Pirates to Partners: Protecting Intellectual Property in China in the Twenty-First Century, I criticized the ineffectiveness and short-sightedness of the U.S.-China intellectual property policy. As I argued, the approach taken by the administration in the 1980s and early 1990s had created a cycle of futility in which China and the United States repeatedly threatened each other with trade wars only to back down in the eleventh hour with a compromise that did not provide sustainable improvements in intellectual property protection. Since I wrote that article five years ago, China has joined the WTO and undertook a complete overhaul …

China's Maritime Strategic Agenda, Christopher Rahman
China's Maritime Strategic Agenda, Christopher Rahman
Chris Rahman
Just what’s China up to at sea? To casual observers, including a burgeoning legion of journalists, commentators and bloggers, China seems set on a path to becoming a major force on the world’s oceans, developing bluewater naval power with which to protect the Chinese state’s expanding economic ties to far-flung corners of the world and project political and even strategic influence. Such observers rightly note the rapid growth in China’s international seaborne trade, its shipping and shipbuilding sectors, and its marine economy and maritime interests in general. China’s naval developments over the past decade have been widely commented on, especially …
Book Review Of Oil On Water: Tankers, Pirates And The Rise Of China, Christopher Rahman
Book Review Of Oil On Water: Tankers, Pirates And The Rise Of China, Christopher Rahman
Chris Rahman
Oil on Water sheds light on the vital economic and strategic issue of the international oil trade. Oil remains the most important of all fuels, and the viability of the oil trade is highly dependent upon the safety and security of shipping. However, while the idea of ‘energy security’ is a term widely employed and appreciated in the abstract, the actual details of how the world’s economies are supplied are not well understood. The issue has gained much greater salience in recent years due to structural upward changes in oil prices, mostly as a result of rapidly growing demand in …

The European Constitution And Its Implications For China, Xingzhong Yu
The European Constitution And Its Implications For China, Xingzhong Yu
Xingzhong Yu
The European Constitution is significant not only for the European Union, but also for a developing constitutional system like that of China. The EU constitutional practice may have positive implications on China's constitutional theory and practice. In the wake of the European constitutional achievement, Chinese constitutional scholars need to re-examine their long-held conviction in the indispensable role of the state in constitutional formation and imagination. The EU experience may have provided China with valuable insights and ways to deal with its inherited ethnic problems and improve its institutions on regional autonomy for ethnic minorities. China's own constitutional experiment in Hong …
