DESCRIPTION:The Chinese legal system plays a crucial role in building Chin
 a's political\, economic\, and social foundations. Despite its authoritari
 an nature\, the Chinese Party-state claims to envision rule-based governan
 ce in China. But what is the relevance of Chinese law to the discourse of 
 the rule of law ideals in western countries? How can we assess the effects
  of China’s legal change in the past century and\, above all\, in the pa
 st four decades? To what extent does China’s constitutional arrangement 
 also fulfil the paragon of “separation of power” and “checks and bal
 ances”? This talk will explore the concept of Chinese law in historical 
 context\, examine the basic structure of the Party-state\, and provide an 
 overview of certain critical aspects of Chinese law that would inform a ge
 neral understanding of China's legal system.\n\nThis event will be held on
 line via Zoom. Register here:\n\nhttps://wolfson-cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar
