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 \u003ci\u003eyifa zhiguo\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisa Nesossi,Susan Trevaskes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004386378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004386372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 0.20d","brand":"Elisa Nesossi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454087213311,"sku":"9789004386372","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f06bd8d1-f586-4317-aac4-59e64a7ead23.jpg?v=1777304092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/procedural-justice-and-the-fair-elisa-nesossi-9789004386372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
