LAW AND DEVELOPMENT
PROFESSOR DAVID KENNEDY
FALL 2010
Course Description:
This course will deal with past and present debates over the role of the legal order in economic
development. We will explore the relationships among economic ideas, legal ideas and the
development policies pursued at the national and international level in successive historical periods.
We will focus on the potential for an alliance of heterogenous traditions from economics, law and
other disciplines to understand development.
Readings:
We will aim to cover one assignment per class. Required and recommended readings marked “DM” are
in the distributed materials available at the distribution center, except when they come from one of
the following texts, which you should probably purchase. Significant portions of each will be
required reading.
