Journal overview
In the past three decades, following its rapid economic development, China is fast becoming one of the world’s most prosperous countries. At the same time, China has tried to construct a state administered under the rule of law. As a result of this process, Chinese and foreign scholars have made increased efforts to understand the Chinese state and Chinese society and their relationship to contemporary Chinese law. But until now these efforts have not made Chinese law sufficiently accessible to the outside world. The aim of the Peking University Law Journal is to provide a window on Chinese law for anyone interested in the continuing development of Chinese law and society. In pursuing this aim the Journal publishes original English-language articles written by Chinese and foreign scholars on Chinese legal traditions, and the rule of law in Chinese society. It also publishes original English-language articles which engage comparatively with Chinese law and the rule of law in China.
