Debating Constitutionalism in China: Dreaming of a liberal turn?

Abstract

[...]it reviews the current episode of constitutional debate and summarises the arguments both for and against implementing constitutionalism in China. The recent anti-corruption campaign indicates that even though the Party leadership pledged to fight corruption regardless of the lowly 'flies' and the high-flying 'tigers,' the selective targeting of officials shows that the anti-corruption drive is driven by ideology and campaign justice - rather than by building institutions and adopting the rule of law.
