Recenzje

"The book impresses through its harmonious structure, approaching the subject first from a general perspective and focusing then on the specific situation in Shenzhen SEZ ... . The multiple cross-references in the text contribute to keeping present to mind the full picture and the main line of argumentation. The summaries concluding each chapter facilitate also a better assimilation of the rich information provided, whereas the extensive bibliographical sources give opportunities for further relevant readings on the topic." (Ionut Raduletu, China-EU Law Journal, Vol. 8 (3-4), May, 2023)

This book analyzes the benefits of and legal concerns in connection with the delegated legislation of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as a prime example of experimental legislation in Chinese law. It offers solutions for improving the legal design of experimental regulations in Special Economic Zones by striking a balance between the pursuit of rapid socio-economic progress on the one hand, and the increasing need and will to govern by the rule of law on the other. The book offers a valuable guide for the academic community and legal practitioners, as well as students eager to gain insights into Chinese constitutional law and the conflict between legality and achieving reforms.
