In
The Rule of Law in the Real World, Paul Gowder defends a new conception
of the rule of law as the coordinated control of power and demonstrates
that the rule of law, thus understood, creates and preserves social
equality in a state. In a highly engaging, interdisciplinary text that
moves seamlessly from theory to reality, using examples ranging from
Ancient Greece through the present, Gowder sheds light on how societies
have achieved the rule of law, how they have sustained it in the face of
political upheaval, and how it may be measured and developed in the
future. The Rule of Law in the Real World is an essential work for
scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone else who believes the rule
of law is critical to the proper functioning of society.
