Gender and Political Economy
This roundtable brings together a group of legal scholars whose projects concern gender and political economy. These speakers, drawing from critical legal thought (including American legal realist and post-realist traditions), sociological and historical analyses of social reproduction, critical race theory and racial capitalism, postcolonial history and theory, and feminism and queer theory, discuss methods for assessing legal rules and architec…
Labour and Labour Law in the Project of International Development
Colonialism and the modern project of development are deeply entangled—with labour provided by the Global South directly feeding processes of industrialisation in the Global North. Yet while labour has been central to development, it has played a marginal role, as its normative subject, the worker in a ‘standard employment relationship’, bears little resemblance to work and workers in developing countries. Orthodox understandings of modernisation…
Occupied Iraq
The occupation of Iraq in 2003 involved a wide-ranging set of interventions in the domestic legal, political and economic structures of the state, interventions that provoked a debate about whether the law of occupation should recognize a category of ‘transformative’ occupation. While the occupation itself has often been decried as an imperial venture, its administration involved a diffusion of power among international institutions as well as ra…
Theorizing International Law and Development
This chapter explores the scholarship and practice surrounding international law and development. As a field, law and development might be understood as theoretical in its essence: it revolves around the rise, diffusion, transformation, and disintegration of ideas, theories, concepts, and paradigms concerning law and social change. Political agendas, institutional constraints, as well as economic interests are all crucial to understanding the man…
Black Sites
While the family as an economic institution has traditionally been sidelined in development policy, development institutions like the World Bank now promote a range of legal and policy reforms that touch on the family and the household. This Article considers how interventions designed to expand formal markets and to encourage participation in markets and investments in human capital might provoke change within the family and the household. Altho…
Critical Directions in Comparative Family Law
This is an Introduction to a Special Issue of the American Journal of Comparative Law, edited by Janet Halley. The central theme of the Special Issue is "family law exceptionalism": the myriad ways in which the family and its law are deemed, either descriptively or normatively, to be special. We argue that the nineteenth century emergence of Family Law as a distinct legal topic, influenced inter alia by Friedrich Carl von Savigny and carried arou…
The New Law and Economic Development
This book is a collection of essays that identify and analyze a new phase in thinking about the role of law in economic development and in the practices of development agencies that support law reform. The authors trace the history of theory and doctrine in this field, relating it to changing ideas about development and its institutional practices. The essays describe a new phase in thinking about the relation between law and economic development…
Recharacterizing Restructuring
In the last decade, market-centered economic reforms have been implemented in a wide range of developing and transitional countries under the auspices of the international financial institutions. Whether or not they deliver the promised prosperity, they appear to be associated with widening economic inequality as well as disadvantage for particular social groups, among them women and workers. Recharacterizing Restructuring argues that such effect…
