Opis

In short, the 24 selected and representative articles written in English by the author over the past 30-odd years, mainly published in international leading journals and now collected and compiled in this monograph, could be deemed the products of international academic debates. They record, reflect and embody the author's personal views on a number of contemporary basic issues in international economic law & the international economic order. These personal views with Chinese characteristics are deeply rooted in China's specific national situation and the common position of the world-wide weak groups, and are significantly and substantially different and independent from some existing voices from strong western powers, which is why the book bears the title "The Voice from China." On the basis of their specific themes and content, the 24 representative articles are divided into six parts: 1) Jurisprudence of Contemporary International Economic Law; 2) Great Debates on Contemporary Economic Sovereignty; 3) China's Strategic Position on Contemporary International Economic Order Issues; 4) Divergences on Contemporary Bilateral Investment Treaty; 5) Contemporary China's Legislation on Sino-Foreign Economic Issues; and 6) Contemporary Chinese Practices on International Economic Disputes (Case Analysis).

Recenzje

from China, by An Chen, offers a wide-ranging record of intensive scholarship on China's relationship to international economic law. It provides access to a rare and intriguing perspective from China by one of the country's most senior academics in the field. ... As a whole, Chen's writings offer a rich tapestry of generalist ideals and specific decisions to represent China's re-emergence and interaction with the legal architecture of the international economy." (Gus Van Harten, Journal of International Economic Law, Vol. 22 (2), October, 2015)
