Building Rule of Law in the Arab World: Tunisia, Egypt, and Beyond

by Eva Bellin (Editor), Heidi Lane (Editor), Lisa Hilbink (Contributor)

How might Arab countries build the foundations for rule of law in the wake of prolonged authoritarian rule? What specific challenges do they confront? Are there insights to be gained from comparative analysis beyond the region? Exploring these questions, the authors of Building Rule of Law in the Arab World provide a theoretically informed, empirically rich account of key issues facing the countries at the forefront of political change since the Arab Spring as governments seek to develop effective and responsible judiciaries, security sectors, and anticorruption agencies.
