The book not only reveals how these legal tools sustain a hierarchy of religion, but also the political dynamic behind the design and utilization of these legal tools. Adopting a novel, comparative approach, Chen adeptly investigates various legal tools employed to regulate religious fraud in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Through a systematic survey of court judgments, he identifies the surprising convergences among the religious fraud regulations across the three jurisdictions. He further employs public choice analysis to tease out the reasons behind these often unconstitutional religious fraud regulations, and highlights the complicity of individuals who otherwise advocate for liberal democratic values. With its wealth of legal and political analysis, the book critically interjects in the global inquiry of religious freedom and democratic backsliding. This progressive book is an important touchstone for scholars and students in Asian studies, law and religion, criminal law and justice, and law and society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z China. 650 0 $a Religious law and legislation $z China $x Criminal provisions. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z Taiwan. 650 0 $a Religious law and legislation $z Taiwan $x Criminal provisions. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 650 0 $a Religious law and legislation $z Hong Kong $z Hong Kong $x Criminal provisions. 650 6 $a Liberte religieuse $z Chine. 650 6 $a Liberte religieuse $z Taiwan. 650 6 $a Liberte religieuse $z Hongkong. $z Hongkong. 700 1 $a Chen, Jianlin, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chen, Jianlin, 1982- $t Law and politics of religious fraud regulation. $d Cheltenham, UK ; Northampton, Massachusetts : Edward Elgar Publishing Limited, 2023 $z 9781802200249 $w (OCoLC)1393913509 830 0 $a Elgar studies in law and society 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024807.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A16C5944FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
