| Legal Developments and Constitutional Structures in Iraq | In order to practice business under the rule of law, you need to have one, and the Iraqi theatre is most unusual in this respect.

| A legal manifesto for the Lebanese Cabinet: Justice for Rafik Hariri and Moussa Sadr | Last week I pleaded for a legal manifesto for Irans Green Revolution. I am arguing this week for a judicial manifesto for the Lebanese Cabinet. I have no illusions.

| International Law: Where Have We Been; Where Are We Going? | International law, much like the law of nation-states, is in a state of flux. There is great unceraintly regarding its applicability in what I (and others) refer to as the post-9/11 world.

| Corruption and Its Challenges: The Battle to Stop a Universal Problem | Corruption is increasingly seen as a universal problem, deeply embedded in many national legal systems, and also transnational in nature. It is so endemic that it has generated its own special vernacular, such as Code 1,000 in Honduras (a reference to the 1,000 lempira note), mordida in Mexico... | | 2009-09-25 |

| Mapping corruption: Why Words Make a Difference | As I observed two weeks ago in this column, the vernacular for corruption is rich, awareness increasingly acute and legal strategies increasingly aggressive; yet, accepted conceptions and definitions of corruption are far from universal. Why is this so? And why does it matter? | | 2009-10-08 |

| Combating World's Corruption is a Slippery Business | The better we can measure corruption, the more accurate will become our understanding of its reach and depth, as well as impacts.

| Is Israel a Democracy? It's conditional | This is a serious discussion to be undertaken on a world level on the type of system that Israel is, as serious indeed as the legal investigation carried out in the mid-1960s on the legal nature of the apartheid regime in South Africa. In the early 1960s, Yale Law Journal published a long, two-pa... | | 2009-12-10 |
