Conference Objectives
The objectives of the conference include three facets generally. The first
objective is to provide a platform for scholars from different areas, and make
the dialogue much more diverse and fruitful. Accompanied with much more
openness of Greater China, more and more dialogues are needed for
understandings and agreements among one another. The theme on the rule of law
with Chinese characteristics is such a one needed to be explored and discussed
for the future of China.
The second is to focus on this theme from comparative perspectives, get
consensus on the pros and cons of the features of the rule of law with the
so-called Chinese characteristics in transition so as to keep these
characteristics, follow the track of the rule of law and arrive at Chinese rule
of law eventually.
The third is to bridge the communications between China (including Hong
Kong, Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan), North America, Europe, Australia and
other countries and regions, so as to make Hong Kong academia know much more
about the recent intellectual developments in these relevant areas. This would
make the Centre for Chinese and Comparative Law, School of Law, City University
of Hong Kong more open and leading in these areas potentially.
Issues to be explored during the conference:
(1) The rule of law with Chinese characteristics from comparative
perspectives
(2) The rule of law in transition from historical and comparative perspectives
(3) Particular legal systems with Chinese characteristics in the practice

comparison
