The contributors contest the liberal assumption that the rule of law will go hand in hand with a transition to market-based economies and democracy in East Asia. Using case studies from Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam, they argue that the rule of law is in fact more likely to provide political elites with the means to control civil society.
