Teemu Ruskola is Professor of Law at Emory University.
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.

An ambitious yet incredibly illuminating book from a postcolonial legal perspective. Recommended to any foreigner who finds himself stuck in a stereotypical view of China and Chinese law.
評分主要內容一百頁就能寫明白,有點囉嗦瞭,而且落不到實處。第三章其實該單獨拿齣來多寫點,放在裏麵作為一章覺得有些奇怪。優點在於視角獨特,寫美國的法律東方主義和西方對中國法律的認識。以及中國作為"他者"對美國法律以及美國人身份起到塑造作用。這種認識往往齣自於想象和偏見。
評分a little bit American-centered! but still an impressive one!
評分還是挺扯的啊,特彆是關於公司法與傢族比較那部分……給外國人看看好瞭何必再譯成中文
評分顧盛在華期間和美國政府之間的通信比較有意思,加一星。總體而言,作者對中國史的瞭解非常有限,以至於提齣瞭很多好問題,但是根本無力做齣解釋,很多結論過於想當然瞭;作者對領事法院和會審公廨的認知又很膚淺…總之,沒有金剛鑽就彆攬這瓷器活
