Note
- Development, Reform, and the Rule of Law: Some Prescriptions for a
Common Understanding of the "Rule of Law" and its Place in
Development Theory and Practice by Thom Ringer
In spite of the ubiquity of the phrase in contemporary development discourse
and policy, there exists no generally, or even substantially, agreed-upon
definition of the "rule of law" for the purposes of development.
This Note investigates the intellectual and normative tensions created
by the conceptual conflict surrounding the rule of law in development
theory and practice. Drawing on both moral and economic understandings
of human development, I attempt strenuously to identify the obstacles
to consensus on the meaning of the rule of law. I conclude that the
rule of law must be construed as a means of development rather than
one of its fully-fledged ends. I also advocate greater attention to
the dynamic character of institutions in the developing world, and theoretical
moderation in specifying the normative goals of the rule of law.
