- W2271208822 abstract "Social bias and invidious legal distinctions affect - to greatly varying degrees - the lives of China’s approximately 900 million peasants and “peasant migrants.” This paper argues that the treatment of these groups in China is related in a special way to the incoherence of law in conditions of political authoritarianism. There is a connection between fragmentation of citizenship through the household registration (hukou) system, which determines who is a peasant or peasant migrant, and a wider fragmentation of legal rules in China. If this argument is correct, we should not draw too facile analogies between the iniquitous treatment of these groups, and discrimination based on racist laws in some western legal systems. But we must also recognize the special difficulties with addressing hukou-based wrongs. Legal fragmentation, which affects not only substantive law but also the rules of law-making, diminishes the prospects for a thorough legislative reform of the hukou system, and the prospects of effective legal challenges to hukou-related practices. One prominent case of a successful constitutional challenge is discussed in this paper, and it is argued that its success was the result of exceptional circumstances. As challenges to unconstitutional laws and regulations can only rarely occur successfully within the institutional channels provided by the party-state, they become more likely to take the form of moral appeals to a common Chinese citizenship entailing certain rights. In the circumstances of legal fragmentation, such appeals will weaken rather than strengthen China’s legal and political institutions." @default.
