Chinese Law and Its International Projection (eBook)

This book aims to explore the construction of Chinese law, with an evolution that has been strongly inspired by international law that has functioned as a 'pioneer of legal civilization' in China. Chinese law is a fluid sedimentation of traditional elements of Chinese culture and the internalization of external elements.

The internal dimension of Chinese legal evolution therefore coincides with a progressive incursion also at the international level, questioning the traditional rules of international relations. The most relevant and comprehensive concept that has been proposed by China in recent years is certainly the idea of building a 'community of shared future for mankind.' This aspiration demonstrates a global and integral vocation of international law capable of embracing relations of a new type, towards a multi-polar democratization of international relations, which mark the need for the beginning of a new era.
