    "title": "The Political Economy of Rule of Law in Middle-Income Countries: A Comparison of Eastern Europe and China",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "There has been an explosion of interest in rule of law in recent decades  and growing interest in middle-income countries (MICs) among economists  and development specialists, including the World Bank. However, there  has been relatively less work done on rule of law in MICs and the  special issues MICs face in developing a functional legal system. This  is preliminary attempt to understand some of issues facing MICs as they  seek to establish rule of law. To keep the scope manageable given the  wide diversity of MICs, I compare Eastern European MICs and China. Part  II provides a brief introduction to MICs and general issues they face.  Part III provides a broad empirical comparison of Eastern European  countries, the Baltics and former soviet republics, and China. Parts IV  to VI discuss rule of law issues in Eastern Europe, with comparisons to  China, focusing on lustration issues, implementation gaps, and the very  different performance of constitutional and regular courts. Part VII  turns to recent debates about the role of courts in China, and the  controversial crackdown on social and political cause lawyering. Part  VIII concludes.",
