4. The World Bank's Draft Comprehensive Development Framework and the Micro-Paradigm of Law and Development by Richard Cameron Blake
   
   The author asserts that Law and Development (L&D) scholars and practitioners must pay more attention to micro-level L&D theory. In contrast to the original L&D theory's sole focus on macrodevelopment of markets and democracy, micro-L&D theory focuses on developing law and legal resources for the poorest of the poor. The author then evaluates the World Bank's new Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) in light of micro-L&D theory. He claims that the CDF's policy of country-level planning and ownership has the potential to allow the poor to become empowered by giving them an opportunity to articulate, advance and protect their interests before policymakers, but criticizes the lack of full civil society participation so far.
