Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course is interdisciplinary, combining fields of law, sinology, and history. It will introduce students to the historical roots and evolution of Chinese law from about 21st century B.C. to the republican era before 1949. Covering a large time and geographic frame, course sessions are designed into two parts. The first part will present the Chinese legal history by following the dynastic order, helping students get a basic overview of Chinese law, its development and key features. The second part will explore different and concrete aspects of Chinese legal history by focusing on certain themes, such as legal knowledge, legal practice and actors, religion and law, legal reform, etc. This part has an analytical dimension which aims at training students’ skills of critical and comparative thinking, in order to understand better Chinese society and legal history.
