Description
In this text economists, lawyers, political philosophers and social theorists examine the borderline between traditional economic theory and the particular problems of developing countries. The ethics of redistribution, and the impact on the development process of the interaction between national state bureaucracy and international institutions are thus considered in an interdisciplinary approach. This gives new insights on topical issues for the 1990s such as problems of financing international environmental control and the hazards of deregulation. Anthony Carty is the editor of "Law and Development" and "Post-Modern Law".
