Abstract
The World Bank legal review: law,
equity, and development, volume two, is a publication for
policy makers and their advisers, attorneys, and other
professionals engaged in the field of international
development. It offers a combination of legal scholarship,
lessons from experience, legal developments, and recent
research on the many ways in which the application of law
and the improvement of justice systems promote poverty
reduction, economic development, and the rule of law. In
keeping with the theme of the World Development Report 2006:
equity and development, and following the success of the
World Bank Group's legal forum on 'law, equity,
and development' in December 2005, volume two of the
World Bank legal review focuses on issues of equity and
development. The volume draws together some of the key ideas
of the Legal Forum, including articles by many of its
distinguished participants, and explores the role of equity
in the development process, highlighting how legal and
regulatory frameworks and equitable justice systems can do
much to level the playing field in the political, economic,
and socio-cultural domains, as well as how they can
reinforce existing inequalities.
