近几十年来，包括世界银行在内的经济学家和发展专家对法治的兴趣激增，对中等收入国家的兴趣也越来越大。然而，在中等收入国家的法治以及中等收入国家在建立一个有效的法律的制度方面面临的特殊问题方面所做的工作相对较少。这是了解中等收入国家在寻求建立法治时面临的一些问题的初步尝试。鉴于中等收入国家的多样性，为了使范围易于管理，我比较了东欧中等收入国家和中国。第一部分简要介绍中等收入国家及其面临的一般性问题。第二部分对东欧国家、波罗的海国家、前苏联加盟共和国和中国进行了广泛的实证比较。第三部分至第五部分讨论了东欧的法治问题，并与中国进行了比较，重点是净化问题，实施差距，以及宪法法院和普通法院的不同表现。第六部分转向最近关于法院在中国的作用的争论，以及对社会和政治事业律师的有争议的镇压。第七部分结束。
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 I provides a brief introduction to MICs and general issues they face. Part II provides a broad empirical comparison of Eastern European countries, the Baltics and former soviet republics, and China. Parts III to V 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 VI turns to recent debates about the role of courts in China, and the controversial crackdown on social and political cause lawyering. Part VII concludes.
