'In this fascinating book, scholars from various jurisdictions shed their light on numerous legal aspects of the Chinese Civil Code of 2021, the most important private law codification of the last decades. They do so by examining the doctrinal changes made through a comparative law lens and thereby taking a closer look at the ideological, historical, sociological, and philosophical dimensions of the new Chinese Civil Code.' Andre Janssen, Chair Professor of Private Law, Radboud University Nijmegen 'The editors and authors of the book are eminent experts in comparative law and Chinese civil law. The topics on which they have contributed reflect many of the basic issues of the Civil Code. The work is therefore an indispensable tool for every scholar and practitioner engaged in Chinese private law.' Knut Benjamin Pissler, Research Fellow, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg and Professor for Chinese Law, University of Göttingen 'This excellent book is a fascinating and comprehensive discussion of the key features of the new Chinese Civil Code. Written by leading scholars from East and West who are experts in comparative law and legal history, it offers an in-depth analysis of the approach to codification in China, a country that has experienced unprecedented economic growth while retaining several features of socialist legal systems. Personality rights, property, torts, and contracts are all covered to reveal the characteristics of each area of law in China, while providing a brilliant comparative perspective with other legal systems.' Michele Graziadei, Full Professor of Comparative Law, University of Torino 'This book will be an invaluable scholarly resource to anyone engaging with the new Chinese Civil Code. It explores this hugely important enactment both from within, as a matter of Chinese law, and from a broader comparative perspective. In doing so, it contextualises the Chinese Civil Code - its historical evolution, its relationship with other systems, and its contribution to solving modern legal problems in the 21st century. The editors are to be congratulated on bringing together such a stellar line-up of authors to produce this timely and very impressive collection.' Birke Häcker, Schlegel Chair in Civil Law, Common Law and Comparative Law, University of Bonn
