The post-war liberal economic order seems to be crumbling, placing
the world at an inflection point. China has emerged as a major
force, and other emerging economies seek to play a role in shaping
world trade and investment law. Might they band together to mount a
wholesale challenge to current rules and institutions? Emerging
Powers in the International Economic Order argues that resistance
from the Global South and the creation of China-led alternative
spaces will have some impact, but no robust alternative vision will
emerge. Significant legal innovations from the South depart from
the mainstream neoliberal model, but these countries are driven by
pragmatism and strategic self-interest and not a common ideological
orientation, nor do they intend to fully dismantle the current
ordering. In this book, Sonia E. Rolland and David M. Trubek
predict a more pluralistic world, which is neither the continued
hegemony of neoliberalism nor a full blown alternative to it.
This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the impact
of globalization on the Indian legal profession. Employing a range
of original data from twenty empirical studies, the book details
the emergence of a new corporate legal sector in India including
large and sophisticated law firms and in-house legal departments,
as well as legal process outsourcing companies. As the book's
authors document, this new corporate legal sector is reshaping
other parts of the Indian legal profession, including legal
education, the development of pro bono and corporate social
responsibility, the regulation of legal services, and gender,
communal, and professional hierarchies with the bar. Taken as a
whole, the book will be of interest to academics, lawyers, and
policymakers interested in the critical role that a rapidly
globalizing legal profession is playing in the legal, political,
and economic development of important emerging economies like
India, and how these countries are integrating into the
institutions of global governance and the overall global market for
legal services.
This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of
globalization's impact on the Brazilian legal profession. Employing
original data from nine empirical studies, the book details how
Brazil's need to restructure its economy and manage its global
relationships contributed to the emergence of a new 'corporate
legal sector' - a sector marked by increasingly large and
sophisticated law firms and in-house legal departments. This
corporate legal sector in turn helped to reshape other parts of the
Brazilian legal profession, including legal education, pro bono
practices, the regulation of legal services, and the state's legal
capacity in international economic law. The book, the second in a
series on Globalization, Lawyers, and Emerging Economies, will be
of interest to academics, lawyers, and policymakers concerned with
the role that a rapidly globalizing legal profession is playing in
the development of key emerging economies, and how these countries
are integrating into the global market for legal services.
Max Weber's Economy and Society is widely considered the most
important single work in sociology and among the most important in
the history of the social sciences. This volume provides a critical
and up-to-date introduction to Weber's magnum opus. While much has
been published about the various parts of Economy and Society, this
is the first book to cover all of its major sections and themes, as
well as to discuss the methodological vision that unites them. In
Max Weber's Economy and Society, a distinguished group of scholars
illuminates the central arguments of Economy and Society and
appraises their contemporary relevance for the analysis of the
economy, the polity, law, religion, and social action. With essays
that are both theoretical and empirical, this book will be of
interest to those already familiar with Weber's work and to those
encountering it for the first time.
This book explores the emergence of a new developmental state in
Latin America and its significance for law and development theory.
In Brazil since 2000, emerging forms of state activism, including a
new industrial policy and a robust social policy, differ from both
classic developmental state and neoliberal approaches. They favor a
strong state and a strong market, employ public-private
partnerships, seek to reduce inequality, and embrace the global
economy. Case studies of state activism and law in Brazil show new
roles emerging for legal institutions. They describe how the
national development bank uses law in innovation promotion, trade
law strengthens new developmental policies in export promotion and
public health, and social law frames innovative poverty-relief
programs that reduce inequality and stimulate demand. Contrasting
Brazilian experience with Colombia and Mexico, the book underscores
the unique features of Brazil's trajectory and the importance of
this experience for understanding the role of law in development
today.

This book is a collection of essays that identify and analyze a new
phase in thinking about the role of law in economic development and
in the practices of development agencies that support law reform.
The authors trace the history of theory and doctrine in this field,
relating it to changing ideas about development and its
institutional practices. The essays describe a new phase in
thinking about the relation between law and economic development
and analyze how this rising consensus differs from previous efforts
to use law as an instrument to achieve social and economic
progress. In analyzing the current phase, these essays also
identify tensions and contradictions in current practice. This work
is the first comprehensive treatment of this emerging paradigm,
situating it within the intellectual and historical framework of
the most influential development models since World War II.

Europe and the United States confront common challenges in responding to the transformations of work and welfare in the 'new economy', and there are signs of far-reaching changes in the role of government as a direct result. This volume presents the latest research by a team of outstanding international contributors. Parts One and Two examine new approaches to the governance of work and welfare in the EU and the US respectively; and Part Three surveys emergent trends and reflects on future possibilities.

The last two decades have brought unprecedented changes in the
practice of law in America. Lawyers have been forced to evaluate
self-consciously what they do and why. This collection of eight
essays examines the relationship between these changes and the
professional ideals of American lawyers. Each paper analyzes how
lawyers' ideas about professionalism may help explain the behavior
of practicing lawyers and may suggest directions for reform of the
profession.
