SPRINGERBRIEFS IN LAW RULE OF LAW IN CHINA - ...

This book analyzes in detail differing interpretations of the rule of law in Western legal
systems and in the People's Republic of China. As the rule of law is seen by many as a
prerequisite for China's future development  politicians  activists and entrepreneurs from
China and from the West alike have long been calling for adherence to this principle  which is
constitutive of Western democracies. All these groups use the same words  but do they truly
share the same idea? In order to address this question  the book compares the Rule of Law with
Chinese characteristics  as propagated by Chinese leaders and in official Chinese publications
to different applications of the rule of law as it is understood in Western civilization. In
particular  the author takes a closer look at the implementations of recognized core elements
of the rule of law in representative Western countries  which include the separation of power 
the supremacy of law  the protection of fundamental rights and the independence of the justice
system.
