"Their [Diamant, Lubman, O'Brien] insights into the roles played by regulators, mediators, arbitrators, police, prosecutors, judges, legislators, and other local government and Communist Party officials leave no doubt that, however limited, imperfect and distinctive China's legal processes may be, there is a legal system at work in the P.R.C. and it is ever more important to the polity, economy and society of 1.3 billion people."Far Eastern Economic Review "Engaging the Law in China heralds a rich set of findings in a promising field of study. It not only serves as an important benchmark for future research on the law in contemporary China but also for studies of Chinese state-society relations, past and present. This volume will make an important addition to any course considering these issues."The China QuarterlyDiamant, Neil Jeffrey is the author of 'Engaging the Law in China State, Society, and Possibilities for Justice', published 2005 under ISBN 9780804750486 and ISBN 0804750483.
