The 21stcentury also opens up an ever-intensifying degree of social risks, relativityand uncertainty. It is against this general backgroundthat the existing model of law and judiciary in China has been subject tocross-cutting pressures. A better analysis, understanding and reflection of thegeneral social milieu thus becomes a matter of necessity should law-makers,law-enforcers, judges, prosecutors and lawyers seek better solutions inpractice. An pragmatic adjustment of legal institutions to contemporary needs,be it by means of learning from other countries or of the trial-and-errorprocess of innovation, will not be possible unless we are equipped with bettersocial knowledge and greater familiarity with the history of thoughts. Needless to say, the Chinese society is asuper-large-scale complex system, of which cross-cutting social networks playan ultimately important role of self-organisation. Here, individual orgroup-based ways of conduct and thinking are culturally distinctive, albeitwith consistent practical reason of universal implications – a basis upon whichthere arise such comparative-law prototypes as of the constitution of socialnorms, the design of legal institutions, judiciary practice, the awareness ofrights, justice-related social psychology, and the mechanism of ordering. Witha “law and society” perspective, this module aims to put the Chinese socialstructure and its function under microscopic observation through legal lens,while as its obverse, to interpret legal phenomena in the Chinese socialcontext. In particular, daily routines, facts and concrete cases will be usedto map the evolution of legal traditions, analyse the conditions forconstituting a rule-of-law order, and reveal the value implications on ournetworked and risk society of a new rule-of-law paradigm with “principles”embedded within rational actions.
