This course examines debates over the role of law in economic
development. We will explore the interplay between ideas
about economic, political, and social development, on the one
hand, and ideas about law (domestic and international), on
the other hand. Throughout this course, we will ask the following
overarching questions: What is development and
howdoes it help or harm social well-being? How can law advance
or constrain the project of building transnational and
domestic institutions that facilitate social well-being?
Class discussion will be structured in three parts. We will
begin with theories of development. Here, we will study influential
models of economic development in the post-
World War II period (modest interventionism, export-led
growth, orthodox neoliberalism and post-Washington
Consensus neoliberalism). We will also consider anthropological
and sociological approaches to understanding and
analyzing the concept of development.
In the second part of the course, we will study programs to
change the legal regimes of various countries as a means
to achieve development. We will briefly study the law and
development movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and then
we will turn to contemporary efforts at rule-of-law reform.
These efforts include the strengthening of judicial institutions,
market deregulation, and the promotion of human rights. We
will pay special attention to the economic theories, policy
choices, and moral and political questions animating various
proposals to promote the rule-of-law.
In the thirdpart of the course, we will apply our understandings
of theories of law and development to a series of contemporarycase
studies. These case studies will include topics
such as land reform, trade and finance, labor, dispute
resolution, and others.Testi consigliati e bibliografia
