This essay adopts a historical approach to treat China’s rise—or, more accurately speaking, China’s prolonged rise—not only as a phenomenon generated by the reform and opening-up project but also as a longer, larger, broader, and deeper process that began in China’s “age of revolutions.” While China’s embarking on the reform and opening-up process in the late 1970s represents an important point of departure for China’s rise, its agenda, as well as the legitimacy narrative underpinning the agenda, was the product of China’s “age of revolutions.” Indeed, it was the successes and failures of China’s revolutions that prepared some of the fundamental conditions for the coming of the reform and opening era. All of this also has burdened the reform and opening process with many hurdles, making it impossible for China’s rise not to become a course paradoxical and prolonged. Binding the essay together is the analysis of the evolving legitimacy challenges that the Chinese “Communist” state has been facing, both in Mao’s times and during the periods that Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao serve as China’s top leaders.Less

Recent years have confronted the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement System (DSS) with an intense wave of complex linkage disputes. US-Clove Cigarettes, which stands at the centre of this chapter, serves as the second case study in the investigation into the DSS’s goal-attainment endeavours in this category of WTO disputes. The chapter begins with a review of several jurisprudential milestones leading from the early US-Shrimp, examined in Chapter 5, to the more recent US-Clove Cigarettes, examined here, with a view to portraying the legitimation continuum of which the latter dispute forms a part. The chapter then discusses the intricate legitimacy setting in which US-Clove Cigarettes unfolded and, through a close goal-oriented analysis, shows how the intensified legitimacy concerns aroused shaped the goals pursued by the DSS and the judicial choices made towards their achievement. The chapter concludes by linking the goal-attainment efforts identified to the broader DSS goal-based effectiveness framework advanced in the book.Less
