The Rule of Law

In this brilliant short book, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's most acute legal minds, 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 also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism.
