09: Rule of Law in China and Europe

-
Hauptschule
Seminar /
in englischer Sprache

Law has become increasingly important in post-Mao era China. Taking European constitutional traditions as a point of reference, we will investigate what the growing significance of law means for constitutional development and, in particular, whether or not China is transforming into a rule-of-law state.
