Features: Introduction
The compilation of civil legislation in China is a major event—whether China should draft a Civil Code and how to draft it has long been a topic of attention from legal scholars both domestically and internationally. In this book, Chinese civil law scholars such as Li Huixing, Xu Guodong, Wang Lida, Xue Jun, Zhang Gu, and Xie Hongfei provide readers with clarifications and answers. The book is divided into three parts:
- The first part, "Proposals Collection," introduces the conceptual framework of the drafting of China's Civil Code.
- The second part, "Debate Collection," explores various approaches to drafting China's Civil Code.
- The third part, "Historical Reflections," introduces the drafting and debate processes of the German Civil Code, the Japanese Civil Code, and the New York Civil Code of the United States.
The book covers three current approaches to the compilation of the Civil Code, the outline of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, the basic structure of the Civil Code draft, and discussions on the system of the Chinese Civil Code, among other topics.
