MORE ABOUT THE EVENT: Since the end of the Qing Empire Chinese society has transformed from top to bottom – and so has Chinese law. In our RASBJ talk, Haase will take us on a tour starting from the traditional Chinese legal system and its Confucian and Legalist background to the challenges of the 20th century. We will catch a glimpse of the law of Imperial China and the milestones on the way to modernizing the Chinese legal system by the reception of western legal language, concepts, statutes and institutions. We will be invited to compare these developments to the history of Buddhism in China.
