Features: This textbook series selects four legal departments closely related to economics and management—Civil and Commercial Law, Economic Law, Administrative Law, and International Economic Law—for compilation. It is divided into four series based on different legal departments, with each series comprising three parts: "Theoretical Overview," "Typical Cases," and "Teaching Regulations." It is grounded in the fundamental logical framework of departmental law while emphasizing practical relevance, selecting several cases and regulations closely tied to economics and management for analysis and explanation. The series adheres to the consistent high standards of "high quality" and "high level" set by China Renmin University Press. The "Theoretical Overview" sections are independently authored by leading scholars in their respective fields, who also lead the compilation of the "Typical Cases" and "Teaching Regulations" sections. This aims to present a series of authoritative, innovative, targeted, and applicable textbooks to readers with a strong academic team.
This book is the foundational theoretical textbook in the "21st Century Legal Application Textbooks for Economics and Management" series, systematically introducing the basic concepts, principles, and systems of China's economic law. According to the purpose and design requirements of the textbook planning, the following explanations are provided:
(1) In terms of content, as this series is designed to guide application, it focuses on introducing fundamental knowledge, especially important systems. Theoretical or abstract content, such as industrial policy law and planning law, is not covered. Additionally, to align with the civil and commercial law, administrative law, and international economic law series, this book generally does not introduce foreign-related laws, such as international trade law, international investment law, and anti-dumping law. However, some content may overlap with commercial law, such as negotiable instruments law, insurance law, and securities law, which reflect the results of interdisciplinary research and should not pose difficulties for readers.
(2) In terms of format, each chapter begins with an introduction that outlines the key content readers need to understand, followed by the arrangement of "Key Concepts and Terminology," which distills essential knowledge points. These are the foundations for further learning economic law.
(3) Within the "Economic Law Series," this book serves as an introductory manual. Its content and casebook largely follow the same order and structure, but due to the practical reality of pairing this general overview with six casebooks and space constraints, the content is inevitably incomplete. Readers are encouraged to consult supplementary regulations or other textbooks when necessary. Economic law is a highly practical discipline, and we hope readers will adopt a critical and truth-seeking attitude, pay attention to China's reform process, and advance the development of economic legal governance through practice. If there are any grammatical or theoretical inaccuracies in the textbook, we kindly ask readers to excuse and correct them.
