Publishing Date: 2005-05-01
Features: This book is based on the same-named work self-published by Mr. Cai Shu-heng in 1927, supplemented by important papers on related topics written by him, combining them into one volume. The works of Mr. Cai on the legal level throughout his life are basically covered here. Throughout the book, the author combines the historical-cultural perspective on law with empirical analysis of specific legal systems, seeking to prove the fundamental principles of modern law in the exploration of China's path toward constitutionalism and democracy. There are both abstract interpretations of general concepts of law, and more discussions based on specific legal systems, with a particular focus on research on criminal law.
