508.01 Democracy, Markets, and the Rule of Law
This seminar will explore three intersecting issues relating to democracy, markets, and the rule of law. First, we will consider whether and how democracy needs the rule of law for stability and legitimacy. Second, we will consider how far law can help to constitute and maintain the conditions of relatively stable and vital democracy. Third, we will explore the relationship of a market economy to a democratic political order that maintains the rule of law. Readings will be drawn from classic treatments of these issues as well as contemporary scholarship. Can satisfy SRWP with Law 508W add-on credit.
