Event description
China has been establishing its first mechanisms of constitutional review in the recent several years. Unlike the court-centered review proposals and practices in many’s countries, the China’s mechanisms are built inside the National People’s Congress, the superior legislature of the country. Rather than one single review mechanism, China created two: one for the review of statute drafts, the other for the regulations promulgated by the State Council (the Central Government) or the provincial and municipal People’s Congresses. How do these mechanisms work in practice? What are the implications of the mechanisms for rule of law and political reform in China? In the seminar, Professor Yan will invite every participant to explore these questions in a robust and critical approach.
