2）《中国经济改革与法律变迁》课程简介：
Over the past forty-five years, China has emerged as one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies. During the same period, its law and legal institutions have also evolved and in the process have increasingly engaged international norms. This course is designed to provide an overview of the role of law in the reform of China’s economic system. The course also uses Chinese experience to examine more generally the relationship between legal and economic development.
The course will begin with introductions to the economic and legal institutions in place in China prior to the beginning of China’s economic reforms in the late 1970s following the Cultural Revolution. The early part of the course also reviews important areas of the theoretical literature regarding the interaction of law and economic development. Thereafter, the course will focus on China’s experience by 1) examining models and approach in China’s legal development in the reform era; and 2) exploring some prominent areas for case study in which law and economic development intersect. Attention will be paid not only to changing legal doctrine, but also to transitions underway in institutions such as state-owned enterprises, the court system, and the government agencies concerned with implementing and enforcing new laws. The course concludes with a consideration of the lessons that can be drawn from China’s experience both from the perspective of challenges facing China and the applicability of major theories of law and development.
