Rule of Law in China: Chinese Law and Business

China's increasing prominence on the world stage, owing to its economic growth and its hosting of the Olympics in Beijing, has brought renewed interest in, and scrutiny of, its social, political, and legal structure.

The main objective of the programme is to study the ways in which Chinese law and legal institutions encounter and interact with the social environment, including economic and political factors, at local, regional, national, and international levels.

Keith Henderson and Fu Yulin
The Foundation's perspective in pursuing this objective is that of entrepreneurs considering investment in China, the lawyers advising them, executives of an international institution or non-governmental authority, or senior public officials of another country.

The combination of this objective and our particular perspective constitutes a unique approach to the study of the role of law and its relationship to other aspects of society in China.
