Exploring Utopia (Limited) with a Companion
探讨商业法、私营企业和公共基础设施对经济发展的重要性,并分析在异质环境中移植这些制度可能带来的政治动荡和经济停滞问题,对制度定义、产权含义和冲突解决机制有启示。
For economic development, the central importance of commercial law, private enterprise and public infrastructure are undeniable. Yet trying to transplant such in situations when they are foreign can add political turmoil to economic stagnation. Drawing on The Elgar Companion to Development Studies (2006), this dilemma is explored with implications for the appropriate definition of 'institutions'; the meaning of property rights and the mechanisms of conflict resolution.
