WHAT MAKES POOR COUNTRIES POOR?: INSTITUTIONAL DETERMINANTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Book ID/图书代码： 04289512B52512
English Summary/英文概要： This important book focuses on the idea that institutions matter for development, asking what lessons we have learned from past reform efforts, and what role lawyers can play in this field. What Makes Poor Countries Poor? provides a critical overview of different conceptions and theories of development, situating institutional theories within the larger academic debate on development. The book also discusses why, whether and how institutions matter in different fields of development. In the domestic sphere, the authors answer these questions by analyzing institutional reforms in the public (rule of law, political regimes, bureaucracy) and the private sectors (contracts, property rights, and privatization). In the international sphere, they discuss the importance of institutions for trade, foreign direct investment, and foreign aid. This book will be essential reading for those interested in a concise introduction to the academic debates in this field, as well as for students, practitioners and policy-makers in law and development.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书重在表达制度对发展至关重要，探讨了我们从过去的改革努力中学到了什么，和律师在该领域能起什么样的作用？《什么使穷国贫穷？》批判地回顾了有关发展的不同概念和理论，将制度理论置于有关发展的大型学术辩论中。该书还讨论了制度为何、能否并怎样在不同领域影响了发展。就国内而言，作者通过分析公共制度改革（法治、政体、官僚主义制度）和私营部门改革(合同、产权和私有化)回答了上述问题。就国际而言，他们探讨了制度对于贸易、外国直接投资和外国援助的重要作用。本书是那些想精确了解该领域学术辩论者的必备读物，对于法律和发展方面的学生、从业人员和决策者也必不可少。(LNL)
