This collection investigates the complex interplay between legal reform, economic development, and state power within the People's Republic of China. Editor John Garrick compiles contributions from various scholars to analyze how commercial law functions as a tool for both market liberalization and the maintenance of political control. The text evaluates whether these reforms facilitate a transition toward a rule-of-law society or merely reinforce existing power structures through a dual-track system of governance.
