Details

This volume explores the various strategies, mechanisms and processes that influence rule of law dynamics across borders and the national/international divide, illuminating the diverse paths of influence. It shows to what extent, and how, rule of law dynamics have changed in recent years, especially at the transnational and international levels of government. To explore these interactive dynamics, the volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together the normative perspective of law with the analytical perspective of social sciences. The volume contributes to several fields, including studies of rule of law, law and development, and good governance; democratization; globalization studies; neo-institutionalism and judicial studies; international law, transnational governance and the emerging literature on judicial reforms in authoritarian regimes; and comparative law (Islamic, African, Asian, Latin American legal systems).

• Focuses of rule of law at the international and transnational levels, as well as at the domestic level, whereas most volumes emphasize only rule of law at the domestic level within states

• Provides a new analytic framework for understanding the dynamics of rule of law, discussing rule of law promotion, rule of law diffusion and rule of law conversion (i.e. the reception of rule of law), whereas most works focus mainly on rule of law promotion and to a lesser extent conversion/reception

• Provides constructive advice for policymakers and those working in the rule of law promotion industry
