<br/><br/>Introduction : a new imperialism? -- Interventions and international law : legality and legitimacy -- What is the rule of law? : a pragmatic definition and a synergistic approach -- Blueprints for post-conflict governance -- Security as sine qua non -- The challenge of justice system reform -- Accountability for atrocities : moving forward by looking backward? -- Creating rule of law cultures -- Enhancing rule of law efforts : planning, funding, local ownership -- Conclusion. 
<br/><br/> This book looks at why it's so difficult to create 'the rule of law' in post-conflict societies and shows how a narrow focus on building institutions such as courts and legislatures misses the more complex cultural issues that affect societal commitment to the values associated with the rule of law.
