Description

The rule of law is sometimes expressed as 'no person is above the law'.

A more comprehensive description of the concept has been elusive for generations of scholars, lawyers and judges.

What does the phrase mean? More specifically, what does the rule of law mean in the context of 21st century issues and challenges? Professor Robert A Stein and Justice Richard J Goldstone are the distinguished editors and authors of The Rule of Law in the 21st Century.

Joining Stein and Goldstone is an array of internationally distinguished leaders of the legal profession (including US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve) from North America, Europe, Africa and Asia to explore the meaning of the rule of law today in a variety of circumstances. The book opens with chapters covering the basic concepts of the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and whether there is such a concept as an international rule of law. The book examines the concept of the rule of law from a variety of perspectives.

Does the rule of law promote or impede economic development?

How can we meet the major threat to the rule of law in the form of corruption?What is the relationship between the Great Charter, Magna Carta and the rule of law today?How can the rule of law be of assistance when addressing the challenge of inequality of women in society?

It also includes chapters describing law reform programmes that have strengthened the rule of law around the world in recent decades. The rule of law is humankind's best hope for freedom and justice.

The Rule of Law in the 21st Century gives a better understanding of this important concept in the world today.
