This series of policy briefs adopts an interdisciplinary, socio-legal approach to reveal the actual encounter between law and the social environment, exploring problems of implementation, and the implications for China’s future policy initiatives and economic development.
Collectively, the briefs demonstrate that while China’s transition to a market economy governed by the rule of law is far from complete, the dynamic reform process is, on the whole, producing a more secure and transparent environment for investment.
