How do Institutions Change? The Prospects for Law and Justice Priorities in the Post-2015 International Development Agenda

In May 2013 the UN High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda published its report, which, amongst other things, called for a renewed focus on governance and suggested the inclusion of development goals relating to access to justice, corruption, legal identity, and judicial accountability. The panel discussion will provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the challenges these objectives raise and how best they might be pursued. This event will officially inaugurate the new programme on Development and the Implications for Law, Justice and Society, which examines the interaction between law and socio-economic development, democracy, and human rights in post-Communist countries, in Africa, in Arab nations, and in Latin America.
