The book examines the theory and practice of law and development. It reviews the evolution of
law and development studies and presents a general theory of law and development. The general
theory sets the conceptual parameters of “law” and “development” and explains the mechanisms
by which law impacts development. In the second part, the book applies the general theory to
analyze the development cases of South Korea and South Africa from legal and institutional
perspectives. The book also adopts, for the first time, the law and development approaches to
analyze the economic issues of the United States. It discusses why it is critical to developing the
Analytical Law and Development Model or “ADM.”
