This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between law and society in China, adopting Durkheim's legal perspective to explore its role as a symbol of social solidarities. Through a meticulous analysis of changes in laws over time, the work seamlessly integrates Western socio-legal theory with the unique characteristics of Chinese society. By drawing on Durkheim's theoretical framework and methodology, the book offers a profound understanding of the role of law in shaping society. It further incorporates the insights of other scholars, such as Habermas, to broaden its scope. Moreover, the book takes into account the discussion of power and the conflicts of interests in analyzing key social features during China's transition.

The analysis of social anomie, as manifested in the changes of juridical rules and the alterations in the nature of social solidarity, provides a thought-provoking lens for examining contemporary social issues. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and academics engaged in the fields of socio-legal studies, legal theory, and law and society in China. Its in-depth exploration of the complex interplay between law and society offers valuable insights and contributes to the ongoing discourse on legal and social transformations in the country.
