\"In The Rule of Law in the Real World, Paul Gowder defends a new conception of the rule of law as the coordinated control of power and demonstrates that the rule of law, thus understood, creates and preserves social equality in a state. In a highly engaging, interdisciplinary text that moves seamlessly from theory to reality, using examples ranging from Ancient Greece through the present, Gowder sheds light on how societies have achieved the rule of law, how they have sustained it in the face of political upheaval, and how it may be measured and developed in the future. The Rule of Law in the Real World is an essential work for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone else who believes the rule of law is critical to the proper functioning of society\"-- Provided by publisher.

Advancing the rule of law in domestic and foreign-related affairs in a coordinated manner constitutes one of the core tenets of XI Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law. Its profound implications are primarily reflected in the dialectical relationship between the rule of law in domestic and foreign-related affairs, as well as the fundamental requirements and guiding principles for their coordinated advancement. This proposition draws upon multiple intellectual foundations, including the theory of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, the theory of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, progressive concepts of modern international law, and the fine traditional Chinese culture. It resonates with the current era, aligns with the overall balance between domestic and international situations, and demonstrates the path to building a human community with a shared future through the rule of law while providing legal support for the realization of key national strategic goals. It is of great overall contemporary significance both internationally and strategically. At present, the focus should be on advancing the rule of law in foreign-related affairs through the following pathways: properly handling the relationship between the two “pairs of rule of law,” strengthening the strategic framework for the rule of law in foreign-related affairs, enhancing the development of foreign-related rule of law systems, deepening the study and application of international law, and bolstering the development of a talent pool for the rule of law in foreign related affairs so as to advance the rule of law in domestic and foreign-related affairs in a coordinated manner.Advancing the rule of law in domestic and foreign-related affairs in a coordinated manner constitutes one of the core tenets of XI Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law.

'The Cambridge Companion to the Rule of Law' introduces students, scholars, and practitioners to the theory and history of the rule of law, one of the most frequently invoked - and least understood - ideas of legal and political thought and policy practice.

This volume brings together essays on Athenian law by Edward M. Harris, who challenges much of the recent scholarship on this topic. Presenting a balanced analysis of the legal system in ancient Athens, Harris stresses the importance of substantive issues and their contribution to our understanding of different types of legal procedures. He combines careful philological analysis with close attention to the political and social contexts of individual statutes. Collectively, the essays in this volume demonstrate the relationship between law and politics, the nature of the economy, the position of women, and the role of the legal system in Athenian society. They also show that the Athenians were more sophisticated in their approach to legal issues than has been assumed in the modern scholarship on this topic.

Businesses from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) aiming for a global reach must navigate through different levels of rule of law—with different degrees of strength—to access foreign markets. The rule of law is essential from a business perspective as it reduces the costs of transactions on the global market. However, the paper aims to demonstrate that there are transaction costs due to the frictions between the rules of law in the multilevel system, which the MENA business must take into consideration in its search for contract partners and new markets. The focus is on the overall rule of law components of the World Trade Organization, the European Neighbourhood Policies, and the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative and their interaction.
