本文討論中國的法治與學術自由之間的關係。改革開放以來，中國政府提出了「依法治國」的方針，推動建設「社會主義法治國家」。然而，「依法治國」並沒有具體說明法律的性質等，而只是表明合法性原則。在習近平主席的領導下，非自由的價值觀和政治化的概念被融入中國法律，導致法律威權化。本文探討「依法治國」作為個人服從手段的特點。本文以規範學術行為的法律規定和案例為基礎，探討了對個人服從性要求的加強如何影響中國的學術界。雖然學術自由在中國一直受到限制，但在此期間，中國的立法正在向專制主義轉變。然而，將這些新規定制度化的過程似乎並不順利，因為本文所選案例研究並未顯示出一致的實踐。

 

 

This article illuminates the relationship between the rule of law and academic freedom in China. It sheds light on the conception of “yifa zhiguo” (“governing the country according to law”) of the Chinese party-state, as a means of bringing about individual obedience. Using recent codes of conduct for academics and analysing case studies of sanctioned academics, this article examines how the reinforced demand for individual obedience has affected academia in the party-state. Although academic freedom has always been limited, I argue that Chinese legislation has taken an authoritarian turn in the era of Xi Jinping 習近平 by codifying illiberal values and politicised notions. Nevertheless, the institutionalisation of these new prohibitions is not very advanced, as the selected case studies do not demonstrate consistent and coherent practice.
