Law and Development

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Law and development addresses the impact of law, legal frameworks, and institutions (LFIs) on social and economic development. LFIs have significant impacts on development, particularly economic development. Recognizing this importance, the post-2015 development initiatives by the United Nations ("Sustainable Development Goals" or "SDGs") includes rule of law as a development agenda. The course explores the theories and practices pertaining to law and development. In particular, the course explains how LFIs affect economic development in several key areas relevant to economic development, such as property rights, regulatory framework for business transactions, and industrial promotion. The course examines law and development issues in developing countries as well as developed countries, such as the United States.
