In his new book, LivingstonArmytage argues passionately thatthe core problem has been a failureto embrace the centrality of justice inlegal and judicial reform efforts. Manyof us in the development communitycontinue to view universal rightscentricapproaches to developmentwith a degree of skepticism, but theinsistence that advancing justice,however locally conceived andhowever achieved, is a central concernof all human beings is surely correct.Reforming Justice is an importantcontribution to the increasinglycritical process of re-examining theassumptions and logic that underliesconventional assistance in this difficultarea of international assistance.’William Stadden Cole, The Asia Foundation2012 228 x 152 mm 382pp978-1-107-01382-7 Hardback £60.00eBook availablewww.cambridge.org/9781107013827New in PaperbackThe Political Moralityof Liberal DemocracyMichael J.
