    Law Overruled: Strengthening the Rule of Law in Postconflict States
    in Global Governance , n. 1, vol. 14, january-march ,  2008
    ABSTRACT:There is a growing gap between what is meant by the rule of law in political discourse, its implementation by practitioners, and the development of the concept in academic analysis. Politically, it is often used interchangeably with democracy and good governance, which form part of a reform “package.” Practitioners tend to reduce it to judicial reform programs, which have not had a high rate of success in strengthening the rule of law when measured against a broader “academic” notion of the concept. This article attempts to introduce some clarity to the plurality of meanings of the rule of law, look at ways in which it has recently been applied in international cooperation, and map out a new approach to promote it in postconflict states.
