Since the Cold War ended, China has become a global symbol of disregard for human rights, while the United States has positioned itself as the world's chief exporter of the rule of law. How did lawlessness become an axiom about Chineseness rather than a fact needing to be verified empirically, and how did the United States assume the mantle of law's universal appeal? In a series of wide-ranging inquiries, Teemu Ruskola investigates the history of "legal Orientalism": a set of globally circulating narratives about what law is and who has it. For example, why is China said not to have a history of corporate law, as a way of explaining its "failure" to develop capitalism on its own? Ruskola shows how a European tradition of philosophical prejudices about Chinese law developed into a distinctively American ideology of empire, influential to this day. The first Sino-U.S. treaty in 1844 authorized the extraterritorial application of American law in a putatively lawless China. A kind of legal imperialism, this practice long predated U.S. territorial colonialism after the Spanish-American War in 1898, and found its fullest expression in an American district court's jurisdiction over the "District of China. " With urgent contemporary implications, legal Orientalism lives on in the enduring damage wrought on the U.S. Constitution by late nineteenth-century anti-Chinese immigration laws, and in the self-Orientalizing reforms of Chinese law today. In the global politics of trade and human rights, legal Orientalism continues to shape modern subjectivities, institutions, and geopolitics in powerful and unacknowledged ways.

爱德华•萨义德在《东方主义》的开篇中谈到，东方主义是 “文化和政治的现实”，并且是一种被建构的现实，将西方人的想象投射到关于东方的话语之中。既然是话语，就有着一张普罗透斯的脸，文学的、历史的或是政治的，当然也可能是以法律的形式存在。美国埃默里大学的络德睦(T...

westernization=self-orientalization ?

a little bit American-centered! but still an impressive one!

还是挺扯的啊，特别是关于公司法与家族比较那部分……给外国人看看好了何必再译成中文

属于志大才疏型：问题很大，立意很高，但是写起来隔靴搔痒，触不到点。说到底还是文献工作做得不够。
