Plurality of Law and Development

The plurality of law and development is marked by a variety of national traditions, intellectual approaches and historical trajectories. A recent attempt to institutionalize this plurality across continents and legal subdisciplines is the Law and Development Research Network, which opens its fourth annual conference at Humboldt University Berlin today. Völkerrechtsblog accompanies the conference with an online symposium featuring participant contributions as well as videos and interviews of keynote speakers.
