LAW 7578
Markets, Democracy, and the Rule of Law

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

The promotion of markets, the spread of democracy, and the promulgation of the rule of law are frequently presented as three interrelated goals at both the domestic and the international level. In this seminar, we will consider the multiple potential meanings embedded in these goals and the degree to which they may be complementary and/or in tension. The seminar will include a theoretical unit (considering, among other things, the degree to which the definitions of each of these elements are settled or contested) and a series of applications. We will discuss both academic scholarship and cases/case studies that highlight these issues. Students will write a paper for the course, and will also give a brief presentation to the seminar on their paper topic.
