The Cambridge Companion To The Rule Of Law

DescriptionContentsResourcesCoursesAbout the Authors The Cambridge Companion to the Rule of Law introduces students, scholars, and practitioners to the theory and history of the rule of law, one of the most frequently invoked-and least understood-ideas of legal and political thought and policy practice. It offers a comprehensive re-assessment by leading scholars of one of the world's most cherished traditions. This high-profile collection provides the first global and interdisciplinary account of the histories, moralities, pathologies and trajectories of the rule of law. Unique in conception, and critical in its approach, it evaluates, breaks down, and subverts conventional wisdom about the rule of law for the twenty-first century. The first global and interdisciplinary account of the histories, moralities, pathologies and trajectories of the rule of law Sheds new light on the promise and limits of the rule of law in domestic politics and international affairs Advances the longstanding, policy-relevant debate about rule of law promotion by governments, NGOs, and international organizations
