演讲主题介绍/Abstracts:
In this talk professor Graver will apply institutional theory as developed in the study of the history of economic development and political order to the development of law.The theoretical contributions he takes as a starting point are the institutional theory developed by Douglass C. North and the theory of Francis Fukuyama on the development of political order.The concept of institution is central to both theories.A main feature of institutional theory is path dependence.Applying institutional theory may contribute to our knowledge of how the legal order resists outside pressures,and under what conditions this resistance breaks down.Gaining more insight into this is important under current circumstances when the legal institutions are under pressure and attack in many countries,even in the Western world.
