Descrizione

On January 1, 2021, the People's Republic of China, the most populous country in the world and currently the second largest world economy, finally witnessed the entry into force of the Civil Code, a text intended to regulate the legal life of this great country in the coming decades. The development and maturation of this work have been quite tortuous and complex, and are the result of a journey began in 1978 and carried forward through complex and tiring stages. Its entry into force represents an epochal change in world legal history, since with it China, which for some time had already manifested its adherence to the Roman legal system, definitively became part of the legal orders of codified law. This volume collects the proceedings of a Summer school organized in 2019 by profs. Maurizio Onza and Antonio Saccoccio at the University of Brescia, with the participation of Italian and Chinese students and professors. Some Italian and Chinese scholars, with different backgrounds and belonging to different sectors of law and economics, were thus called to reflect on the contents of the Code, which at the time was in a very advanced stage of preparation, although it had not yet entered into force. The book wants to represent, with attention focused particularly on the issue of the production and circulation of wealth, a useful tool for those who want to deepen, in terms of both diachronic and synchronic comparison, the Chinese legal order and the principles and rules contained therein. and deriving for the most part from the Roman juridical tradition.
