 The OYCF is pleased to report the current status of its joint book publishing project with Shanghai Institute of Law and Economics (SILE). In 2003, OYCF, SILE and the Chinese University of Politics and Law Press in Beijing (CUPLP) signed an agreement of publishing a book series in law and economics in China. See http://www.oycf.org/News/publish2003.htm for details. So far six such books have been published on the interplay of law and economics. More are in the pipeline.

SILE is a non-governmental research institute founded in 2002 by a group of Chinese scholars in economics and law. It is dedicated to the research in economics and law and their inter-relations in an effort to facilitate China's economic, legal and social reform.

OYCF is a U.S. based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cooperation and exchange of ideas between China and the rest of the world, and it provides a forum for inter-disciplinary discussions of social, economic, political, legal and cultural issues relating to China and the Chinese.
