Global Perspectives on the Rule of Law is a collection of
original research on the rule of law from a panel of leading
economists, political scientists, legal scholars, sociologists and
historians. The chapters critically analyze the meaning and
foundations of the rule of law and its relationship to economic and
democratic development, challenging many of the underlying
assumptions guiding the burgeoning field of rule of law
development. The combination of jurisprudential, quantitative,
historical/comparative, and theoretical analyses seeks to chart a
new course in scholarship on the rule of law: the volume as a whole
takes seriously the role of law in pursuing global justice, while
confronting the complexity of instituting the rule of law and
delivering its promised benefits.
Written for scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers, Global
Perspectives on the Rule of Law offers a unique combination of
jurisprudential and empirical research that will be provocative and
relevant to those who are attempting to understand and advance the
rule of law globally. The chapters progress from broad questions
regarding current rule of development efforts and the concept of
rule of law to more specific issues pertaining to economic and
democratic development. Specific countries, such as China, India,
and seventeenth century England and the Netherlands, serve as case
studies in some chapters, while broad global surveys feature in
other chapters. Indeed, this impressive scope of research ushers in
the next generation of scholarship in this area.
