'Ann and Robert Seidman have written an invaluabe theoretical (and practical) guide for those concerned with the role of the state in development.'- Bereket Habte Selassie, Professor of African Studies, Howard University 'State and Law in the Development Process is a scholarly work and essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses on the Third World, its history and development. It provides an excellent bibliography and analysis which sets out the fundamentals of research into the future development of the Third World. Expertly written, it embodies a research methodology which is linked to a theoretical perspective.' - John F. McEldowney, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Warwick The post-1945 collapse of colonialism and the emergence of new nationalist governments seemed to promise plenty for all third-world peoples. Four decades later, those promises lay in shards. This book proposes a theory to explain the failure of third-world states to transform the institutions that produce poverty and powerlessness for the mass of the population. Based on that theory, it proposes a methodology designed to facilitate the democratic exercise of state power through law to empower third world peoples to play an effective role in building a peaceful world of plenty for all.

In this volume twenty-two international consultants examine their work as part of a United Nations Development Program project aimed at strengthening China's legislative drafting capacity. They describe the project's legislative theory and methodology, and examine their own work with Chinese teams. By drawing on other countries' experiences with similar legislation, the teams worked together to draft twenty-two bills on the national budget, legislative procedures, environmental protection and education which were suited to China's unique circumstances.

In recent years, development experts have increasingly recognized the importance of improving the use of law to foster good governance and implement more effective development strategies. In today''s closely interwoven world, a country''s law-makers must fit their government''s emerging system of legislation into the continually changing rules of an emerging global society. Yet nowhere can they find a simple guide to building the rule of law and good governance to meet the needs of their own peoples.

Making Development Work brings together the views of a number of commentators, each drawing on extensive experience as consultants in developing or transitional countries. The authors sometimes reach quite different conclusions about how law-makers might best go about building a national legal framework, as well as the necessary institutional structures of good governance which can serve as a foundation for their country''s social and economic development.

They differ on the extent to which each country''s unique circumstances should be taken into account in drafting reform legislation, whether importing successful legislation from other countries is appropriate, and the role of legislative theory in formulating new laws.

Bringing these divergent approaches together has produced a challenging book that will encourage readers to contribute creatively to improving national law-making processes, and help build the kinds of national--and increasingly global--legal frameworks required to make development work.
