    A host of international experts are bought together in this book to critically examine current developments in regional legal institutions, judiciaries, statute, law reform movements, legal education, business law, competition law, intellectual property, Islamic law and labour law and analyse the problems faced by developing and transitional states seeking to reform their legal systems. This text primarily focuses on contemporary experiences post 1997.
