COURSE SYLLABUS

This syllabus is tentative but will give you an idea of what topics we will

cover and in what order. The readings through Topic V (Legal Theories of

Development) are relatively firm, but those thereafter are subject to change if I find

more appropriate or current material. The specific dates are similarly tentative

since I may substitute a guest lecturer for one or more of the later topics if an

attractive target of opportunity appears. As changes are made, a revised syllabus

will be posted so that by the end of the course, the posted syllabus will be an

accurate record of what we have covered (and what will be on the take-home

exam).

I have posted and listed below more material than I will assign, so please be

attentive to specific assignments that I will provide by email in advance of class. I

have included these readings because you may find them informative and useful

for further research.

Finally, although our first class on August 30 may be your first class of

the semester, we will discuss the Carothers reading, so please make every

effort to take a look at it, however cursorily.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

There is no text for the course. Reading materials will be available on NYU

Classes or a link will be provided where you can access the materials online.

My administrative assistant is Mina Kwon. Her phone is 212-992-8848; her

email is <[email protected]> and her desk is located on the fifth floor

outside my office.

My office hours are 11-12 Wednesdays and 10-11 Fridays, at least initially.

You do not need an appointment during office hours, but an appointment will

ensure that you get precedence over those just dropping by. You can also make an

appointment to see me at other times or just stop by. All appointments should be

made through Mina.

I am also available to meet informally with groups of students out of class.

If you are interested, please email Mina.

Summary of the Course

The best guide to the course is the initial syllabus available on NYUClasses.

There will be changes as the semester goes along. For one thing, I hope to get

some outside speakers on particular topics, but the first half of the course is pretty

set.

Law and development as an academic subject is relatively new, and there is

no consensus on the content of the course. My emphasis is on the role of domestic

law and legal institutions in the process of social and economic development rather

than the international law or trade perspectives. In that sense the course is more

comparative law than international law. My approach is fundamental and broad.

By the former, I mean that I begin with the definitions of “development” and “law”

and questions such as whether development as normally conceived is a good thing.

By broad I mean that I include economic and cultural theories of development as

well as legal ones. This approach inevitably means that we spend less time on

specific legal topics than I would like. It also means, however, that the course can

serve as a framework for more focused courses or independent research. To put

theories of development in context, we pay more attention to the experience of

specific countries in specific circumstances than we do evaluating the same issues

using aggregate quantitative data, although you will be exposed to both

perspectives. My own experience is in land law and the legal systems of East Asia,

but I try to give other topics and regions equal weight and I welcome those of you

with experience to help compensate (gently) for my biases.


Requirements, Credits, etc.

Students will be expected to do the reading and participate actively in class.

I call on people at random for their reactions to the reading or class discussion.

Class participation will count for 20% of the final grade.

The exam will consist of a take-home exam, for which you will have the

entire exam period.

A limited number of students may be able to write a research paper in lieu of

the exam, but only after getting my permission. If you write a paper, you will not

have to do the take-home exam, but you will still be expected to attend class and

do the reading. Students who want to do a paper should see me as soon as they are

sure that they want to do so. Selection of students will depend not only on timing,

but also on the nature of the topic and my suitability as advisor.

If you are a JD student who wishes to use the paper to satisfy your

“substantial writing” requirement, you should register for the “writing credit” for

the course. LLM students and JD students not concerned with satisfying the

“substantial writing” requirement don’t have to worry about this bureaucratic

formality. Just make sure that you have my permission and that my assistant and I

know that you are writing a paper and will not be doing the take-home exam. The

deadline for the paper will be individually determined and need not be at the end of

the fall semester. Please note, however, that a later deadline may require the filing

of an incomplete for the course.


Tentative Class Schedule

Please note that classes on October 27 and November 3 and 11 have been re-

scheduled for Mondays as noted below with an *. If these are inconvenient for a

significant number of students, we will find other times. Also, note that there are

four Monday make-up classes because the make-up block is not as long as our

regular block. I hope to combine some classes so that we will not have to meet an

extra time.

This schedule is tentative and will almost certainly be changed. Law and

development is an extremely broad subject and my expertise does not come close

to encompassing what we will cover. For that reason, we will have several guest

lecturers, and I will re-schedule classes to fit their needs. That said, the following

will give you at least a preliminary idea of the order of topics and coverage.
