Abstract
For nearly two decades, international organizations and bilateral donor agencies have been involved in the promotion and implementation of legal- and judicial-reform projects in developing and transition countries. This article refers to this process as the ‘rule of law enterprise’ (RLE). It identifies the ambiguities and misconceptions of the RLE and asks why there has been so little interaction between those involved in the implementation of legal and judicial reform and academics with knowledge and experience on this topic. After identifying the theoretical and practical obstacles to a fruitful dialogue the article concludes that such a dialogue could take place, provided that academics – political scientists and lawyers – and practitioners adjust their respective approaches.
