Laura Nader and Ugo Mattei
"Plunder: When the 'Rule of Law' Is Illegal"
While the concept of the "rule of law" has widespread support, few have considered that it is often upheld to protect the interests of the powerful. Nader and Mattei will discuss how the rule of law has been used to justify the plunder of weaker economies, indigenous technologies and natural resources.
Laura Nader is Professor of Anthropology at UC Berkeley. Ugo Mattei is Professor of International and Comparative Law at Hastings College of Law.
Co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Law and Society.
