As the second volume of a two-volume set on dispute resolution in modern China, this book presents an in-depth analysis of various disputes in modern China, exploring different experiences of dispute resolution and their implications.
Through a series of case studies ranging from civil disputes, land-related conflicts, rural transportation accidents, and inter-ethnic social contradictions, this volume offers a nuanced examination of dispute resolution in contemporary China. Each chapter presents specific scenarios, ranging from family conflicts to civil disputes to farmers' contradictions with the government. The author employs various theoretical frameworks, including alienation theory and the risk society perspective, to analyze these disputes and their resolutions. The book highlights the importance of using diverse resolution methods beyond the legal approach, the unintended consequences of legal intervention, and the need to build safety valves in multi-ethnic areas to maintain social harmony.
This title will appeal to scholars, students, and policymakers in the fields of law, sociology, and Chinese studies, especially those interested in understanding the intersection of law and society, social change, and governance in modern China.
