The Role of Rule of Law in Economic Development
The Role of Rule of Law in Economic Development
The rule of law is a potent force in advancing economic development; conversely, weak legal systems place enormous barriers not only on foreign investment but also on domestic actors capable of generating significant economic growth. This panel will discuss examples of countries that have been especially effective in transforming their business environments from being relatively inhospitable into magnets for domestic and foreign investment. Which donor interventions have been especially noteworthy? What are some lessons learned?
Moderator: Rob Boone, Director, ABA ROLI
