Professor Taylor assesses institutional design issues in rule of law scholarship and calls for more inquiry and research to address the structural problems of donor-assisted rule of law initiatives. Professor Taylor concludes, "We know that the world is littered with failed legal reform projects. One consequence is that failed rule of law projects--or those that fail to deliver on their advertised promises-- have costs." (p. 357)
