Opis

The laogai, in the People's Republic of China, are sometimes likened to the Soviet gulag, and are thought to have an impact on the national economy. This book presents a picture of the situation, along with case studies, based on interviews with former prisoners, judicial personnel and insiders.

Spis treści

This book includes every Supreme Court case relevant to elections and political representation from the Court's beginnings to 2001, including the 2001 decision in Cook v. Gralike that limited citizens' rights to instruct Federal representatives. It is a primary document reference book organized topically in sixteen chapters. Every case is included either as a full (edited) opinion, extensive excerpts of the opinion, or a detailed description of the case. As with the companion volume on gender and sexual equality, using this single volume a researcher can see how American legal history on the topic played out in its entirety. A Table of Cases, relevant Federal statutes, and an extensive bibliography further enhance the volume's usefulness.
