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.

可能是我自己知識結構的關係,我覺得這個作者要是隻寫美國會好一些(當然這本書預設的讀者群體可能不是這麼想的),前三章太太太趕客瞭,餅畫太大落實不瞭以及角度有點飄忽導緻不得不一再聲明自己的立場。。。

評分屬於誌大纔疏型:問題很大,立意很高,但是寫起來隔靴搔癢,觸不到點。說到底還是文獻工作做得不夠。
評分a little bit American-centered! but still an impressive one!
評分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.
