Law and Society Review Special Issue Introduction
Seeing Like an Islamic State
Islamic law, or shari'a, has been incorporated into the legal systems of many states. In much of the existing literature, this process is understood as part of the colonial and postcolonial state's attempt to render law legible-that is, codified, standardized, and abstract. In this article, I show how some state actors chose to move in the opposite direction, actively discouraging the transformation of shari'a into a formal and codified system of…

Native Courts” and the Limits of the Law in Colonial Sudan
This article offers a way of thinking about colonial-era legal reform that departs from traditional narratives by highlighting the importance of legal ambiguity in state building projects. Following the establishment of “Native Administration” in the Sudan in the early 1920s, the British colonial government conferred expansive judicial and administrative powers on tribal sheikhs and nazirs (chiefs), while at the same time discouraging many attemp…

Why Dollarization Is More Straitjacket Than Salvation
The Onset of the East Asian Financial Crisis
This paper provides an early diagnosis of the financial crisis in Asia, focusing on the empirical record in the lead-up to the crisis. The main goal is to emphasize the role of financial panic as an essential element of the Asian crisis. At the core of the crisis were large-scale foreign capital inflows into financial systems that became vulnerable to panic. The paper finds that while there were significant underlying problems and weak fundamenta…
"A inflação brasileira e o "Plano Real
De acordo com a maioria dos padrões, a inflação brasileira tem sido a mais intratável da história mundial. O período de alta inflação brasileira é incomparável: a inflação excede 50% ao ano todos os anos desde 1979 e tem taxas de dois dígitos todos os anos desde 1957. Até a Argentina, a rival perene do Brasil pela distinção dúbia ou pela alta de longo prazo inflação, alcançou estabilização de preços desde abril de 1991. Houve inúmeras tentativas …
Toward Glasnost in the IMF
The past two years have been nothing short of a debacle from the point of Western assistance to Russia. In both years, the West promised a large-scale aid program ($24 billion in 1992 and $28 billion in 1993, not counting debt rescheduling). In both years, only a tiny fraction of the aid actually arrived. As seen in Table 7, the IMF was called upon to provide $9 billion of assistance in 1992 and, in fact, delivered $1 billion. Even that overstate…
Poland's Economic Reform
Political and economic determinants of budget deficits in the industrial democracies
Exchange Rates and Economic Recovery in the 1930s
Currency depreciation in the 1930s is almost universally dismissed or condemned. This paper advances a different interpretation of these policies. It documents first that depreciation benefited the initiating countries. It shows next that there can be no presumption that depreciation was beggar-thy-neighbor. While empirical analysis indicates that the foreign repercussions of individual devaluations were in fact negative, it does not imply that c…
