"rule of law"&"rule by law", difference between "rule of law" and "rule by law". In view of the supreme doctrine of antecedence, it is necessary to discuss and even criticize the legal system of Singapore which has only "rule of law" but no "rule of law" : On the surface of Dicey's "English Constitutional Essence", in fact, the natural rights of individuals remain at risk, while the government does not need fundamental legal constraints, and the silent and obedient civil society is limited to the elimination of liberalism. The exaltation of the natural crisis and the function of government aims to treat the government as the only, effective and even transcendent Power machine. The author's critique and description of Singapore's legal system, even compared with Blackstone and Bagehot, is quite different from the authoritarian rule of law of the British Constitution.

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. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
