Foreign Investment in China

The author, a practitioner in Shanghai, contends that all foreign investment in China will remain totally at risk until a broad range of enormous administrative lacunae are filled with responsible, reliable legal norms. These gaps in the system-all clearly analyzed and measured her for the reader-include the lack of clear delineation between legal and policy norms, the breadth of discretion accorded to bodies charged with legal interpretation and implementation, the limited scope of judicial review, and resulting problems of legislative inconsistency and haphazard legal enforcement.Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
