The Rule of Law, Economic Development, and Corporate Governance

Nadia E. Nedzel

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Grounded in history and written by a law professor, this book is a scholarly yet jargon-free explanation of the differences between the common and civil law concepts of the rule of law, and details how they developed out of two different cultural views of the relationships between law, individuals, and government. The author shows how those differences lead to differences in economic development, entrepreneurship, and corporate governance. Â
