Culture in Law and Development: Nurturing Positive Change
Cao, Lan (Betty Hutton Williams Professor of International Economic Law, Betty Hutton Williams Professor of International Economic Law, Chapman University, Dale E. Fowler School of Law)
Culture in Law and Development presents a provocative new solution to the seemingly intractable problem of combining international norms with local cultural traditions by changing culture through law and development. In this book, Lan Cao demonstrates how the gradual expansion of customary international law (CIL) provides a model for changing culture in ways that protect and advance local populations. The book adopts a holistic view of development and arguesthat cultural norms that impede the human capabilities of the poor, women, and other marginal groups should be changed. The book reveals how a more conscious, coordinated effort on such change can succeed while non-violative local traditions are otherwise honored and preserved.
