{"product_id":"the-stability-imperative-sarah-biddulph-9780774828802","title":"The Stability Imperative: Human Rights and Law in China","description":"Growing inequality within Chinese society has led to public indignation, petitions to Party and state agencies, strikes, and large-scale protests. This book examines the intersection between the Chinese government's preoccupation with the \"protection of social stability\" (\u003ci\u003eweiwen\u003c\/i\u003e), and its legal commitments to protect human rights. Drawing on case studies, Sarah Biddulph examines China's response to labour unrest, medical disputes, and public anger over forced housing demolition. The result is a detailed analysis of the multiple and shifting ways stability imperatives impinge on the legal definition and implementation of human rights in China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Biddulph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774828803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774828802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015","brand":"Sarah Biddulph","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086850404607,"sku":"9780774828802","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_949f5da4-cbdd-4142-8cf3-66535314595d.jpg?v=1769096949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-stability-imperative-sarah-biddulph-9780774828802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
