Abstract

This book explores and theorizes academic discourses about legal pluralism and legal culture in the traditional Chinese legal system as exemplified in the Qing dynasty. The discussion places the Qing legal system (and quasi-legal norms) in the broader context of political and social control in the Qing government. In addition, it also theorizes the diffusion of traditional Chinese laws and legal culture to other territories (e.g., Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaya, and the Straits Settlements) and shows that the state laws and pluralistic norms in Qing China became legal pluralism in these territories.
