评分这本书能纳入张文显主编的文库是一件颇令人费解的事。望题生义,大概以为它是给新加坡威权主义治理方式唱赞歌。 《威权式法治》最精彩的是第一章,特别是李光耀的用数据说话,以及新加坡在世界银行等指标上的排名。但在进入正文,考虑如何叙说和评论新加坡法制的时候,作者采取...

Scholars have generally assumed that authoritarianism and rule of law are mutually incompatible. Convinced that free markets and rule of law must tip authoritarian societies in a liberal direction, nearly all studies of law and contemporary politics have neglected that improbable coupling: authoritarian rule of law. Through a focus on Singapore, this book presents an analysis of authoritarian legalism. It shows how prosperity, public discourse, and a rigorous observance of legal procedure have enabled a reconfigured rule of law such that liberal form encases illiberal content. Institutions and process at the bedrock of rule of law and liberal democracy become tools to constrain dissent while augmenting discretionary political power - even as the national and international legitimacy of the state is secured. This book offers a valuable and original contribution to understanding the complexities of law, language and legitimacy in our time.
