What has replaced liberal conceptions of the rule of law in China’s emerging legal-political order?How are liberal rule of law ideas and practices based on domestic and international law enduring among officials, legal practitioners, civil society advocates and other citizens whose lives are touched by the ‘political-legal system’?What are the implications of the changes as a result of the answers to these two questions, not only for domestic, but also for global and transnational rule of law?This book provides the reader with answers to these questions and in doing provides a fresh perspective on the internal dynamics of the struggle for the rule of law as it plays out domestically in China and the future of the Chinese legal-political system. Giving China’s rising influence in the world, it will inform the global debate about the role of law in other countries, and will help us assess the chances of survival of the institutions currently supporting the rule of law at the international level.
Rule of Law in Russia
Power of Rulers, Power of Rules: Russia’s Legal Dualism in Action

How and why do the rule of law ideas shape the origins and functioning of the Russian state and society? This book explores how, over two centuries, the Russian meaning of the rule of law has been reflected in the legal doctrine, legislation, formal and informal practices of legal and political institutions, and also everyday life and the perceptions of Russian citizens at large and certain minority groups. The authors argue that legal dualism – the tension between constitutionalism and political expediency – explains the rise and fall of multiple ways in which the parts of the Russian state interact with each other and with citizens, and in which citizens and businesses interact among themselves both at home and abroad. Explaining the peaceful co-existence of these multiple ways of law, this book goes beyond the mainstream accounts of instrumental uses of law and lawlessness in Russia and offers novel ways of understanding the myriad ways in which law may matter in authoritarian regimes.
Rule of Law in Singapore

This book examines the operation of the rule of law in the non-liberal democracy of Singapore.The rule of law in Singapore has been both lauded for anchoring efficient and effective government and lambasted for being procedural and statist. 21st-century Singapore has experienced modest political liberalisation, manifesting a paternal democracy where the governor-governed relationship is evolving, from a ‘father knows best’ paternalistic mindset to a more consultative approach to governance, where dialogue rather than diktat is the norm in a post-deferential era. The Singapore case study helps pluralise the rule of law as a universal principle which moderates power, and may be variously implemented. The book examines the reception of the rule of law within the Singapore legal order, and how it interacts with constitutional principles like the separation of powers and democracy in the design of constitutional institutions and forging of structural and rights-oriented judicial review. It considers how the rule of law, contoured by legal communitarianism, sustains a managed democracy in relation to legislation governing internal security, public assemblies, religious harmony and online falsehoods. It questions whether the chilling of political speech by strict laws on political defamation and contempt of court has been significantly defrosted by important developments which seek ordered liberty through a more calibrated form of review.Lucid and engaging, this book will be of interest to researchers working in constitutional law.
Rule of Law in South Africa
AvHeinz Klug,Sanele Sibandam. fl.

This book explores the contentious history of the rule of law in the geographic and socio-political space that becomes South Africa. This is a history of contestation over the idea and use of indigenous, colonial, and constitutional law by official institutions. It explores the multitude of social movements, political organisations, and communities that have turned to the law to defend against abuses of power or to challenge authority and assert claims. These claims have been based on both official and unofficial law and have been asserted in the name of tradition, common law, human rights, and/or international law.As reflected in the practice and academic analysis of law in South Africa in the past and present, the contested conceptions of the rule of law and its relationship to the legacies of colonial apartheid are central to the continuing political and social conflict in post-apartheid South Africa. The book addresses the rule of law under colonialism and apartheid during the democratic transition and under South Africa’s existing constitutional order. It also considers extra-legal influences on the rule of law, such as the political economy of the country, and delves into the lived experience of the rule of law in a society where legal pluralism shapes the lives of large portions of the population.
Rule of Law in Germany

The rule of law, or Rechtsstaatsprinzip, is one of Germany’s oldest constitutional principles and forms part of Germany’s constitutional self-understanding. This book critically examines to what extent this key constitutional principle has translated into a reality for all.The book provides a comprehensive insight into rule of law experiences and discourses in Germany. It explores Germany’s long rule of law tradition and highlights where the German state has fallen short of its rule of law promise, using historical and contemporary examples. It also shows that Germany’s rule of law experience is tightly interwoven with European and international rule of law debates. By integrating historical, socio-legal and doctrinal perspectives, the book provides a nuanced account of a foundational principle in German constitutional thought.Dedicated chapters explore the history and doctrine of the rule of law, challenges to the rule of law in today’s Germany, the rule of law experience in the former German Democratic Republic and in the context of reunification, the relationship of the German rule of law practice with the rule of law on the European and international level, and the rule of law in times of crisis. This includes challenges to the rule of law through anti-terrorism measures, as well as the more recent COVID-19 pandemic and the so-called migration crisis, but also how the rule of law has been discursively (mis-)used in those situations. In concluding, the book highlights digitalisation as a challenge to the future of the rule of law in Germany.
Dynamics of Judicial Independence
A Comparative Study of Courts in Malaysia and Pakistan

This book examines the legal principle of judicial independence in comparative perspective with the goal of advancing a better understanding of the idea of an independent judiciary more generally. From an initial survey of judicial systems in different countries, it is clear that the understanding and practice of judicial independence take a variety of forms. Scholarly literature likewise provides a range of views on what judicial independence means, with scholars often advocating a preferred conception of a model court for achieving ‘true judicial independence’ as part of a rule of law system. This book seeks to reorient the prevailing approach to the study of judicial independence by better understanding how judicial independence operates within domestic legal systems in its institutional and legal dimensions. It asks how and why different conceptualisations of judicial independence emerge over time by comparing detailed case studies of courts in two legally pluralistic states, which share inheritances of British rule and the common law. By tracing the development of judicial independence in the legal systems of Malaysia and Pakistan from the time of independence to the present, the book offers an insightful comparison of how judicial independence took shape and developed in these countries over time. From this comparison, it suggests a number of contextual factors that can be seen to play a role in the evolution of judicial independence. The study draws upon the significant divergence observed in the case studies to propose a refined understanding of the idea of an independent judiciary, termed the ‘pragmatic and context-sensitive theory’, which may be seen in contradistinction to a universal approach. While judicial independence responds to the core need of judges to be perceived as an impartial third party by constructing formal and informal constraints on the judge and relationships between judges and others, its meaning in a legal system is inevitably shaped by the judicial role along with other features at the domestic level. The book concludes that the adaptive and pragmatic qualities of judicial independence supply it with relevance and legitimacy within a domestic legal system.
