The rule of law is a political ideal today endorsed and promoted worldwide. Or is it? In a significant contribution to the field, Nick Cheesman argues that Myanmar is a country in which the rule of law is 'lexically present but semantically absent'. Charting ideas and practices from British colonial rule through military dictatorship to the present day, Cheesman calls upon political and legal theory to explain how and why institutions animated by a concern for law and order oppose the rule of law. Empirically grounded in both Burmese and English sources, including criminal trial records and wide ranging official documents, Opposing the Rule of Law offers the first significant study of courts in contemporary Myanmar. It sheds new light on the politics of courts during dark times and sharply illuminates the tension between the demand for law and the imperatives of order.
[the rule of law is 'lexically present but semantically absent'.] Cheesman的方法论问题处理得很好啊>< 没有细看这本,纯粹借标 How in Myanmar “National Races” Came to Surpass Citizenship and Exclude Rohingya,关于缅甸民族认定和界分概念“taingyintha"的系谱学、司法体系与这种系谱学的关系、和这些如何导致Rohingya被排斥和杀戮(缅甸民族大团结叙事的官方用语和中国太高度相似了吧)。有用的点:state lexicon,semantic jumble,mythic unity,superordinate, truth regime
评分这本书在系里被当成研究设计的典范来讨论不是没有理由的……光看nick当年那高级的proposal都可以产生一种方法论的迷信了
