Course Description
This course examines claims that both the substantive content of law and the effective operation of institutions that implement law are important to economic development. We explore in this course the main conceptions and theories of development, some of the key issues that plague development practice, such as corruption and the relationship between human rights and development, and a couple of case studies. The key question throughout is whether law reform and strong justice systems are indeed essential for development.
