Diplomatic law

Western aid agencies prescribe rule-of-law programs to cure a remarkably wide array of ailments in developing and post-communist countries, from corruption and surging crime to lagging foreign investment and growth. Yet there is a surprising amount of uncertainty about their actual impact on these problems, as well as a lack of knowledge at many levels of conception, operation, and evaluation of the entire rule-of-law field.

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

Once again, as he did with democratization, Thomas Carothers has taken a topic with grand rhetorical appeal that is subject to multiple meanings and brought it down to earth for both scholars and practitioners. --Anne-Marie Slaughter, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs If you want to understand why promoting the rule of law around the world is both ardently pursued and hotly criticized, read this spirited and sobering book--an indespensable work in a field of vital importance. --Stephen Holmes, Walter E. Meyer Professor of Law, NYU School of Law
