Law and Development of Middle-Income Countries: Avoiding the Middle-Income Trap

Randall Peerenboom (La Trobe University) & Tom Ginsburg (University of Chicago) (eds.). Law and Development of Middle-Income Countries: Avoiding the Middle-Income Trap (Cambridge University Press, 2014).

"In 1960, there were 101 middle-income countries. By 2008, only thirteen of these had become high-income countries. Why do so many middle-income countries fail to develop after a promising start, becoming mired in the so-called middle-income trap? This interdisciplinary volume addresses the special challenges that middle-income countries confront from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. It is the first volume that addresses law and development issues in middle-income countries from the perspective of political, administrative, and legal institutions and policies."
