"The Rule of Law" is a phrase much used but little
examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states
and civilizations has recently become even more talismanic than that of
democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant
short book, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's
most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes
clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the
foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible
government, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers
the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He
briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances
eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western
democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of
law by the threat and experience of international terrorism. The book
will be influential in many different fields and should become a key
text for anyone interested in politics, society, and the state of our
world.
