Über den Autor / die Autorin

William Hurst is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University, Illinois. For this book, he completed more than two years of field research across rural and urban settings of multiple provinces in both Indonesia and China. His first book, The Chinese Worker after Socialism (Cambridge, 2009), explored the economic, social, and political causes and ramifications of more than 35 million job losses in China's state-owned enterprises, based on more than two years of fieldwork and over 350 interviews in nine Chinese cities.

Zusammenfassung

This is the first comparative analysis of law and politics in China and Indonesia, for scholars of politics, law, sociology, and history. Based on extensive archival, interview, and observational research across multiple localities in both countries, it is the most comprehensive work in decades on either country's legal system.
