  16. Democracy and Rule of Law • In Europe, rule of law preceded not just democracy but also the modern state • Non-western RoL systems collapsed after contact with West • Zakaria argument that RoL should be sequenced before democracy • Cases in modern times virtually a null set • Singapore and Hong Kong as deviant examples • No constituency for RoL without democracy • Islamists a possible example • But can have democracy without RoL
