THE POLITICS OF COURTS IN AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES, Tom Ginsburg and Tamir Moustafa, eds., Cambridge University Press, 2008

Abstract:     
One reason that dictators empower courts is to monitor and discipline lower level administrative agents. This chapter applies a version of the well-known McNollgast framwork to understand the evolution of administrative law in modern China. Administrative law became an attractive solution to principal-agent problems just as ideology was disappearing as an effective tool in the post 1979 period.
