Summary
In spite of the consensus that has gradually taken shape in Chinese society as regards the building of a modern rule-of-law order, there has emerged with it a series of challenges to the institutional design of constitutionalism and those paradigms fundamental to legal scholarship – challenges that have been brought to the fore by the new realities and epistemics in the structural changes taking place the world over. They have further complicated the status quo in both theory and practice confronting contemporary China.
