CAPS 4071
Law Culture and Society in China

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

What are the main obstacles on China's road towards the Rule of Law? What is the role of law in combatting corruption, protecting human rights and facilitating economic development in China? How are traditional views of Confucianism and Legalism influencing modern Chinese institutions and individuals? This course examines these and other complex issues by employing interdisciplinary and comparative approaches, focusing on the interaction between legal, cultural and social phenomena: how law shapes culture and society and how forms of culture and social relations influence the modernization of law.  The course is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in understanding contemporary China and Chinese law, especially the role of law in political, social and economic development.
