Desai, DevalSage, Caroline2017-06-302017-06-302010-11-05https://hdl.handle.net/10986/27504There is broad recognition, across the political spectrum and in both 'northern' and 'southern' countries, that justice reform, and more generally the promotion of the 'rule of law', are central to development policy, particularly in conflict-affected, fragile and violent contexts. More recently an increased focus on global security and the interaction between security and development as put a renewed emphasis on such efforts. However, while legal, regulatory and 'justice' institutions are now seen as key part of the 'solution' to problems of conflict, fragility and development, this recognition is not matched by a correspondingly clear sense of what should be done, how it should be done, by whom, in what order, or how 'success' may be determined. There often tends to be a clear misunderstanding of both the nature of the problem and (thus) of the solution. In this paper, the author seek to provide some insight into these questions and sketch out a practical conception of effective justice reform in situations of conflict and fragility that may provide the basis for effective programming.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSESACCESS TO JUSTICEACCESS TO LANDACCOUNTABILITYACTIONSACTSADMINISTRATIVE LAWANTI-CORRUPTIONAPPLICABLE LAWARBITRATIONARBITRATORSARMED CONFLICTARMED FORCESASIAN STUDIESATTORNEYSAUTHORITYBANKRUPTCYBASIC SERVICESBRIBERYCITIZENSHIPCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCIVIL WARCIVIL WARSCODESCODES OF CONDUCTCOLLAPSECOMMON LAWCOMMUNITY CONFLICTCOMMUNITY VIOLENCECOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPARATIVE LAWCOMPLAINTSCOMPROMISESCONFIDENCECONFLICT MANAGEMENTCONFLICT PREVENTIONCONFLICT RESOLUTIONCONFLICTSCONSTITUTIONAL REFORMCONSTITUTIONSCONTAINMENTCONVENTIONCORRUPTCORRUPTIONCOUNTERPARTSCOURTCOURTSCRIMECRIMESCRIMINALCRIMINAL JUSTICECRIMINALSCRISIS MANAGEMENTCUSTOMARY LAWDEFENSE LAWYERSDEMOCRACYDISCRIMINATIONDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDOMINANCEDONOR COUNTRIESDUE PROCESSECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTIONSEMPOWERMENTEQUALITYEQUALITY BEFORE THE LAWETHNIC POLITICSEUEUROPEAN UNIONFEDERALISMFINAL JUDGMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICESFOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACTFOUNDATIONSFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONFREEDOM OF INFORMATION LEGISLATIONGANGSGENDERGENDER RIGHTSGENOCIDEGLOBAL GOVERNANCEGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSHARASSMENTHOMEHOMICIDEHOUSESHUMAN RIGHTSINDIVIDUAL RIGHTSINFORMAL SECTORINHERITANCEINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCEINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL DONORSINTERNATIONAL LAWINTERNATIONAL LEVELINTERNATIONAL LEVELSINTERNATIONAL NORMSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL SUPPORTJUDGEJUDGESJUDICIAL CORRUPTIONJUDICIAL REFORMJUDICIARYJURISDICTIONJURISPRUDENCEJUSTICEJUSTICE SYSTEMJUSTICESLABOR LAWLABOR LAWSLAND DISPUTESLAND ISSUESLAND OWNERSHIPLAW REFORMLAWSLAWYERSLEADERSHIPLEGAL AIDLEGAL CHALLENGESLEGAL FORMSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGAL ISSUESLEGAL PLURALISMLEGAL PROTECTIONLEGAL REFORMLEGAL REFORMSLEGAL RESOURCESLEGAL RESPONSIBILITYLEGAL SYSTEMSLEGALITYLEGISLATIONLEGISLATIVE PROCESSLEGITIMACYLOCAL CONFLICTMARGINALIZATIONMEDIAMEDIATIONMEETINGSMILITARY LEADERSMINISTERMODALITYMONOPOLYMULTINATIONALMULTINATIONAL ENTERPRISESMULTINATIONALSNATIONAL LAWNATIONALISMNATIONSNEGOTIATIONSOBSERVEROFFICIAL LANGUAGEOPPRESSIONPATRONAGEPEACEPEACE AGREEMENTSPEACEBUILDINGPOLICEPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL SETTLEMENTPOLITICAL WILLPOPULAR PARTICIPATIONPOSSESSIONPRE-TRIAL DETENTIONPRISONERSPRIVATIZATIONPROPERTY RIGHTSPROSECUTIONSPROSECUTORSPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLISHERSRAPEREBELRECONCILIATIONRECONSTRUCTIONREFUGEERELIGIOUS LAWREMEDIESRULE OF LAWRULING PARTYRULINGSSANCTIONSSECESSIONSECURITY FORCESSELF-DETERMINATIONSEPARATION OF POWERSSEXUAL VIOLENCESOCIAL RIGHTSSOCIAL STRUCTURESTATE INSTITUTIONSTAX LAWTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETHEFTTRADE AGREEMENTTRANSPARENCYTRIALTRIALSTRIBUNALSUNDPUNIVERSITIESVICTIMSVIGILANTISMVIOLATIONSVIOLENCEVIOLENT CONFLICTWARWAR CRIMESWAR ECONOMIESWARFAREWORLD DEVELOPMENTYOUTHYOUTH VIOLENCEWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27504
