About this book
Recently scholars have become increasingly aware that the study of Chinese law can provide new insight into the forces actually at work in Chinese society in different epochs. In an effort to encourage and facilitate the study of this subject, the thirteen essays of this volume deal with the methodology of studying the legal system of the People's Republic, describe the available research materials, and analyze the problems presented in making the materials of Chinese law intelligible to Western readers. They also review foreign works on Chinese law and explore the difficulties involved in translation and in comparing the Chinese system to our own and to that of the Soviet Union.
Mr. Cohen's thoughtful introduction provides an excellent survey of the worldwide development of studies of Chinese law. It also delineates the nature of the essays that he and the eleven other scholars have contributed to the volume.

Reviews
This excellent collection of studies deals with both the substance of the legal system of Communist China and the problems of its study... an excellent introduction to Chinese legal history.
The 'first word on the subject'... Professor Cohen is to be congratulated on the production of this pioneering effort... this book represents the first comprehensive attempt to introduce the peculiar nature of the research problems involved.
