商品描述

Through a detailed historical and empirical account of post-independence years, this book offers a new assessment of the role of the judiciary in Pakistani politics. Instead of seeing the judiciary as helpless or struggling against an authoritarian state, it argues that the judiciary has been a crucial link in the creation of state and political inequality in Pakistan. This rubs against the central role given to the judiciary in developing countries to fix the 'corrupt politicians and stubborn bureaucracies' in the World Bank's 'Good Governance' paradigm and rule of law initiatives. It also challenges the contemporary legal and judicial discourse that extols the virtues of Public Interest Litigation. While the book's core analysis is a critique of the contemporary liberal legal project, it also adds to the critical tradition of social theory by linking political economy to a social theory of law. The theoretical aspect of the study is applicable to any developing society whose judiciary is going through foreign-sponsored 'rule of law' judicial reforms.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

透過對獨立後年份的詳細歷史和實證敘述,本書提供了對巴基斯坦政治中司法機構角色的新評估。它並不將司法機構視為無助或在專制國家中掙扎的存在,而是主張司法機構在巴基斯坦國家和政治不平等的形成中扮演了關鍵角色。這與世界銀行的「良好治理」範式及法治倡議中,賦予司法機構修復「腐敗的政治家和固執的官僚」的中心角色相悖。本書也挑戰了當代法律和司法話語,該話語讚美公共利益訴訟的美德。雖然本書的核心分析是對當代自由法律計畫的批評,但它也通過將政治經濟與法律的社會理論聯繫起來,增添了社會理論的批判傳統。本研究的理論面向適用於任何正在經歷外國贊助的「法治」司法改革的發展中國家。
