Features: The profound advancement of globalization trends, primarily characterized by economic globalization, environmental globalization, public affairs globalization, human rights globalization, and legal globalization, constitutes a defining feature of the contemporary world. Globalization is powerfully reshaping human production methods, lifestyles, and living conditions, while also profoundly influencing the economic, political, legal systems, and their transformations in human society. In this era, whether observing, thinking about, or addressing any issue, we must adopt a global perspective, global vision, and global mindset, with a problem strategic awareness of global issues and the challenges of globalization. The legal development challenges faced by contemporary China and the world must also be studied and resolved within the context of globalization and the global governance structure.
Dr. Huang Wenyi wrote the book Global Structures and Legal Development based on his doctoral dissertation. It examines the legal development issues of the world and China from the perspectives of global vision, global vision, and global mindset, advancing the intellectual transformation of legal development research toward a global theory paradigm. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the five basic trends of global legal development—modernization, internationalization, globalization, regionalization, and localization—as well as the corresponding five legal discourses. It also organizes the theoretical paradigms of modernization and localization in the study of Chinese legal development, identifies the three legal professional discourses of professionalism, elitism, and populism in the contemporary world, comparatively investigates the legal education models of the modern world, and explains the fundamental nature and methodologies of legal transplantation from the perspective of legal development.
This book offers a valuable intellectual framework and theoretical approach for understanding the trends of contemporary global legal development and the landscape of legal development in contemporary China.
