SUMMARY:Relational Justice: reconciling murder in China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Michelle Miao (Assistant Professor\, Chinese University of H
 ong Kong\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/discussant: William Alford (Jero
 me A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School)\n\n	Co-spon
 sored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	This talk analyzes 
 and theorizes individual behaviors and social practices surrounding offend
 er-victim reconciliation in murder cases in China. It explains that this p
 artially-judicial process was enabled and shaped by\, respectively\, the r
 ole of the state\, market forces and socio-cultural ties amongst individua
 ls. Using the concept of relational justice\, the talk explains\, from a s
 ocio-cultural perspective\, that interpersonal networks underpin the conce
 ption of justice in China. This nexus between relations and justice may ex
 plain why the judicial regulation of social conflicts focuses on the repai
 r and restoration of social relations. The talk also illustrates that the 
 economic transformations in China during the past decades led to the commo
 dification of interpersonal relations. In this way\, the talk provides an 
 alternative approach for understanding the conception\, process and functi
 on of justice in contemporary China. Rather than merely focusing on the co
 ncept of rule of law as a measurement of good governance\, this talk expla
 ins why the notion of rule by relations might be also useful to articulate
  the logics of China’s judicial realism.
