The article explores the chakuda no matsurigoto (literally “putting on shackles”) ritual in Heian Japan (794–1185), its evolution and specificity. Originally the ritual consisted only of putting shackles on a prisoner after the announcement of the verdict, and presented an integral part of the judicial system during the Asuka and Nara periods, but in the Heian era, the chakuda no matsurigoto ritual turned into a large-scale ceremonial action regularly performed in the 5th and 12th lunar months. It was a spectacle both for noble persons and for commoners, becoming a credential sign (proof) of the triumph of the law over iniquity; a symbol of dishonour for criminals (they were publicly put in shackles during the ritual on the market square of the capital) and a testimony of fair justice for those whose term of imprisonment came to an end (they were removed from the shackles right during the chakuda no matsurigoto and released). The chakuda no matsurigoto ritual in the Heian Japan underwent constructive changes at the end of the 10th century, turned into a kind of shameful punishment that pursued several main tasks. The ritual served as a message, informing people about the guilt of the criminals and the impartiality of the court verdict passed by them. By enhancing the visual and sound elements of the ceremony, the organizers of the chakuda no matsurigoto achieved the correct understanding of the essence of what was happening among those present, its maximum informative accuracy. The ceremony of liberation from the iron shackles in the presence of numerous observers served as an impressive symbol of the offender’s return to the world of law-abiding people, demonstrating the indisputability of the rule of law in the Heian state.

The Ideal

This short article on Peter Fitzpatrick’s conception of “responsive law” analyzes the ambiguous temporality that Fitzpatrick discerned in modern law. On the one hand, law makes the claim of being fully present and therefore already and completely contained in itself. This aspect of law reflects the law’s claim to “immanence,” that is, its claim of always being able to rely strictly on its own operational terms without having to take recourse to any consideration not already contained within itself. It is this aspect of law that renders the ideal of the “rule of law” feasible. On the other hand, the law’s claim to doing justice to every unique and therefore every new case also demands that it takes leave of that which is already settled within it. This aspect of law can be called its “imminence.” The imminence of the law concerns the reality that law always finds itself on the threshold of that which has not yet been said and must still be said. The article shows how Fitzpatrick relied on Freud’s concept of the totem to explain the “wondrous” unity of its immanence and imminence.

Law Making

The rule of law as a globally recognised concept is multi-faceted (Chesterman, 2008). In the common-law tradition, it is conceived through a formal and substantive framework. In essence, it centres on the supremacy of the law over the arbitrary exercise of power and the formal legality of the law (Tamanaha, 2004, p. 115; Cotterrell, 1992, p. 157). The rule-of-law concept has been criticised as being of unique European origin, where plural social organisation and universal natural law constitute its two preconditions (Unger, 1977, pp. 80–110). It has, however, been advocated around the world as one essential principle leading to modernity, where the legitimacy of the law based on the formal and substantive rule of law serves as a strong symbol for a modern society (Deflem, 1996, p. 5).

International Rule

The international rule of law hinges on the existence of a shared lexicon accepted by states and other actors in the international system. With no independent judicial system capable of determining (and enforcing) the meaning of words and concepts, states must develop shared interpretations of the law and the concepts and terms it relies on, and be willing (mostly) to abide by those shared interpretations. When such shared interpretations exist, key aspects of the rule of law can be present even in the absence of an international judicial system; state behavior can be reasonably predictable, nonarbitrary, and transparent; and accountability can also be possible, albeit mainly through nonjudicial mechanisms.

Status Position

The national legal system is determined by traditional elements characterizing the culture and customs that exist in the social environment in the form of moral standards and the law. However, the attitude of the population to the letter of the law, as a rule, initially contains negative properties in order to preserve personal freedom, status, position. Therefore, to solve pressing problems of rooting in the minds of society of the elementary foundations of the initial order, and then the rule of law in the public sphere, proverbs and sayings were developed that in essence contained legal educational criteria.

The article examines how the normative power, which the EU puts forward as an ideological basis of its actions in the world, manifests itself in the national partnerships for modernization between Russia and EU member states. The authors demonstrate the influence of the EU’s normativity on its approach to modernization as well as the difference in the positions of its member countries. It is concluded that there is no unity in the EU’s approach to democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and the new classification of EU member states, which is based on their readiness to act in accordance with the Union’s concept of normative power, is offered.
