A challenging and provocative book that contests the liberal assumption that the rule of law will go hand in hand with a transition to market-based economies and even democracy in East Asia. Using case studies from Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam, the authors argue that the rule of law is in fact more likely to provide political elites with the means closely to control civil society. It is essential, therefore, to locate conceptions of judicial independence and the rule of law more generally within the ideological vocabulary of the state.

A useful collection of essays,

This review is from: Law, Capitalism and Power in Asia: The Rule of Law and Legal Institutions (Asian Capitalism) (Paperback)
There have been quite a few edited volumes about law in Asia, but this one still has some value, despite being over a decade old. It focuses on the intersection between law and commerce in Asia. Most of the essays focus on administrative law in a particular country, with a few articles comparing several countries in a particular issue, such as insolvency law. For those of us primarily interested in Southeast Asia, this book is particularly useful because over half the essays are just on that region.
