Law, Economics, and Conflict

Law, Economics, and Conflict book jacket

Author: Edited by Kaushik Basu and Robert C. Hockett

By Our Faculty

In Law, Economics, and Conflict, Kaushik Basu and Robert C. Hockett bring together international experts to offer new perspectives on how to take analytic tools from the realm of academic research out into the real world to address pressing policy questions. As the essays discuss, political polarization, regional conflicts, climate change, and the dramatic technological breakthroughs of the digital age have all left the standard tools of regulation floundering in the twenty-first century.

Fantastic Planet
