Routledge Handbook of the Rule of Law

This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art survey of the study of the rule of law across law, humanities, and social sciences, as well as insights into the practice of building the rule of law within and among states. Chapters progress from theory to the practice of the rule of law and then from the rule of law within, to beyond, the state.
