'Rule of Law Intermediaries offers a rich account of the complex arrangements that comprise rule of law assistance. Simion's engaging analysis sheds new light on the influence of intermediaries in Myanmar, and the networks they navigate. With its descriptive prose and ethnographic depth, Rule of Law Intermediaries provides a vivid illustration of transnational law in action, and makes an important contribution to the study of development, law and society.'
