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
