Contending orders : legal pluralism and the rule of law / Geoffrey Swenson.

New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2022]

xiv, 273 pages : maps ; 25 cm.

Based on author's thesis (doctoral - University of Oxford, 2015) issued under title: Addressing crises of order : judicial state-building in the wake of conflict.

"Examines how the rule of law is understood conceptually and pragmatically-both on its own terms and as part of post-conflict state-building efforts. It examines thinner, more process-orientated understandings of the rule of law as well as thicker, more substantive conceptualizations with additional political, social, and economic components. While both approaches are worthwhile, I argue that a minimalist conception of rule of law offers the most appropriate standard for assessing progress in judicial state-building after conflict"-- Provided by publisher.
