Theatre of the Rule of Law should be read by anyone engaged with or concerned about rule of law promotion, and by all those interested in the global transmission and enactment of ideas about and through law. Stephen Humphreys provides a balanced, erudite critique of both the concept of the rule of law and the practice of its promotion by international development agencies Development scholars and practitioners alike will benefit from [this book], as will interested laypersons. It should be essential reading for staffs of multilateral, bilateral, nongovernmental, consulting and policy institutions concerned with law and development Even development and policy professionals whose expertise lies elsewhere - public health, land use, private enterprise, natural resources, gender and foreign aid in general, for instance - will profit from a greater understanding of the limits and opportunities of the interface of law with their respective fields And it will remain highly relevant for many years to come.
This book presents the first sustained critique of transnational 'rule of law promotion', an expansive industry driving global development and security policy today. Combining historical, theoretical and practical inquiry, his book should be read by all those interested in the role of law in shaping political and economic priorities worldwide.

Theatre of the Rule of Law presents the first sustained critique of global rule of law promotion - an expansive industry at the heart of international development, post-conflict reconstruction and security policy today. While successful in articulating and disseminating an effective global public policy, rule of law promotion has largely failed in its stated objectives of raising countries out of poverty and taming violent conflict.
Furthermore, in its execution, this work deviates sharply from 'the rule of law' as commonly conceived.
To explain this, Stephen Humphreys draws on the history of the rule of law as a concept, examples of legal export during colonial times, and a spectrum of contemporary interventions by development agencies and international organisations. Rule of law promotion is shown to be a kind of theatre, the staging of a morality tale about the good life, intended for edification and emulation, but blind to its own internal contradictions.
