Under what conditions would authoritarian rulers be interested in the rule of law? What type of rule of law exists in authoritarian regimes? How do authoritarian rulers promote the rule of law without threatening their grip on power? Tying the Autocrat's Hands answers these questions by examining legal reforms in China. Yuhua Wang develops a demand-side theory arguing that authoritarian rulers will respect the rule of law when they need the cooperation of organized interest groups that control valuable and mobile assets but are not politically connected. He also defines the rule of law that exists in authoritarian regimes as a partial form of the rule of law, in which judicial fairness is respected in the commercial realm but not in the political realm. Tying the Autocrat's Hands demonstrates that the rule of law is better enforced in regions with a large number of foreign investors but less so in regions heavily invested in by Chinese investors.

4.5星。和其他很多讀者不同,我很喜歡這本書。第一,提齣的問題很重要,有的威權國傢為什麼會有動力推動依法治國是一個很好的研究題目。作者的迴答也有廣泛的可應用性,其理論核心雖然簡單但很有力。本書的核心論點是更依賴於FDI的地方政府更可能會推動法治,因為外資需要公正透明的法治來維護其投資利益。相反,當地的企業可以通過私人關係和腐敗來維護自身利益。第二,數據分析雖然不見得盡善盡美,但我沒發現什麼大錯,而且給定作者的數據,我不認為自己會做得比作者更好。第三,豐富的、有意思的一手訪談,裏麵有許多有趣的東西(比如有個“保護牌”的圖),也足見作者真的是中國法治問題的專傢。總起來看,本書算是我讀過的最優秀(之一)的基於中國案例的比較政治學著作瞭。
