China Law & Society
An ongoing editorial initiative to collect, publish, and disseminate Chinese legal and social science scholarship — in English, for readers everywhere.
About the Collection
China Law & Society is a curated, English-language collection built on HeinOnline in partnership with William S. Hein & Co. It brings together work that would otherwise remain difficult for international readers to find: Chinese statutes and regulations, leading Chinese academic journals, and authoritative monographs by Chinese scholars.
The purpose is straightforward. Chinese scholarship should be readable, citable, and discoverable wherever research is done — and anyone studying Chinese law or society should be able to follow its development directly, in English, from primary and authoritative sources rather than through second-hand summaries.
What We Collect
Scope of the Collection
Legislation & Regulations
Authoritative English translations of Chinese laws, administrative regulations, and judicial documents — the primary sources international researchers work from.
Academic Journals
English editions and selected papers from leading Chinese law and social science journals, indexed as full text rather than abstracts.
Scholarly Monographs
Books and edited volumes by Chinese scholars, many appearing in English for the first time, published in full and indexed chapter by chapter.
Reports & Reference Works
Yearbooks, annual reports, and reference titles that document how Chinese law and practice have developed over time.
