Abstract
This paper examines how judicial independence is maintained and safeguarded in Singapore, a country which has a strong tradition of the rule of law but is often regarded as an authoritarian state in the West. It argues that Singapore's political and legal systems are able to maintain and protect judicial independence in a thin version of the rule of law, which opens the possibility for establishing limited judicial independence in China while it maintains the authoritarian party-state political system.
