Part 1 gives a wide-angle view of the key political events and developments that have shaped the experience of procedural justice and the fair trial in contemporary China. It provides a storyline that explains the political environment in which these concepts have developed over time. Part 2 examines how scholars understand the legal structures of the criminal process in relation to China’s political culture. Part 3 presents scholarly views on three enduring problems relating to the fair trial: a presumption of innocence, interrogational torture, and the role of lawyers in the criminal trial process.   Procedural justice is a particularly pertinent issue today in China, because Xi Jinping’s yifa zhiguo 依法治国 (governing the nation in accordance with the law) governance platform seeks to embed a greater appreciation for procedural justice in criminal justice decision-making, to correct a politico-legal tradition overwhelmingly focused on substantive justice. Overall, the literature reviewed in this article points to the serious limitations in overcoming the politico-legal barriers to justice reforms that remain intact in the system, despite nearly four decades of constant reform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Author Biographies    Procedural Justice and the Fair Trial in Contemporary Chinese Criminal Justice  Elisa Nesossi and Susan Trevaskes  Abstract  Keywords   Introduction   1 The Justice Storyline   2 The Policy-Implementing Structures of the Criminal Process   3 Three Areas of Concern   4 Conclusion   References","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210763690327,"sku":"9789004386372","price":71.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/procedural-justice-and-the-fair-trial-in-contemporary-chinese-criminal-justice-9789004386372","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
