The Futility of Law and Development

China and the Dangers of Exporting American Law

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing in historical threads from religious, legal and foreign policy work, The Futility of Law and Development demonstrates how American comparative law ultimately became a marginalized practice in this process. The marginalization belies its central place in earlier eras of American political and legal reform.
