Book Reviews of Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad: In Search of Knowledge

Book Review: Much recommended
Summary: 5 Stars

The Rule of Law has become more and more important in international relations over the past years, with vast sums of money spent on the training of judges, the building of courts, institutions of transitional justice and the drafting of legislation. This book is the best overview of these efforts and the rationale that underlies them that I've come across. It is based on extensive research by someone with long-term experience in the field, well-written and clearly argued. Much recommended!

Summary of Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad: In Search of Knowledge

Promoting the rule of law abroad has become a major part of Western efforts to spread democracy and market economies around the world. Yet, although programs to foster the rule of law abroad have mushroomed, well-grounded knowledge about what factors ensure success, and why, remains scarce. In Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad, leading practitioners and policy-oriented scholars draw on years of experience to critically assess the rationale, methods, and goals of the rule-of-law policies and programs. These incisive, accessible essays offer vivid portrayals and penetrating analyses of the challenges that define this vital but often misunderstood field. Contributors: Rachel Kleinfeld (Truman National Security Project), Lisa Bhansali (World Bank), Christina Biebesheimer (World Bank), Wade Channell (independent consultant), Stephen Golub (University of California, Berkeley), David Mednicoff (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Laure-Helene Piron (Overseas Development Institute, London), Frank Upham (NYU School of Law), Matthew Spence (Truman National Security Project), and Matthew Stephenson (Harvard Law School).
