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.

評分新加坡是這個世界上把國傢例外論和二元法治玩得最溜的國傢,沒有之一。 作者的意圖顯然是在用結構主義的學術話語解構新加坡的法治本質,暴露其法製國傢的真相。若果在從前,我可以用法哲學理論就這個論點寫一長篇評論,但是現實教育我們,批判的武器永遠戰勝不瞭武器的批判—法...
