Table of ContentsReviewsCulture in Law and Development is a pioneering book that systematically shows how culture has been neglected - at significant cost - in a range of separate but interrelated fields, from public international law to international human rights to international relations to law and development. Although almost everyone acknowledges that 'culture is important,' few scholars are willing to engage the thorny issues raised by culture - for example, what should we do when local cultures are antithetical to international development norms? In this fascinating and provocative book, Professor Lan Cao takes on this challenge, arguing that culture can be changed, should be changed, and has been changed before. Amy Chua, John M.
