Law and development studies in the United States serve as a movement in the exportation of legal knowledge for the modernization of various developing countries, which deeply roots in the American indigenous experience. In the light of the two major paradigms dominated in this field, modernization theory emphasizes the transplantation of legal institutions and the transformation of legal values, while ignores the traditional culture and social reality in developing countries;dependency theory indicates the disastrous exploitation of the western economic colonialism, but underestimates the beneficial promotion of the world economic system. Owing to the theoretical failure and tensions at hand, law and development scholars have learned a set of precious lessons. With the persistent endeavor, developing countries will eventually establish successful and indigenous permutations of the role of law. In addressing this theoretical crisis, a postmodernism oriented critical analysis and the multi limitations of legal study must be carefully scrutinized. In all, a homegrown legal reform appears to be the only workable solution. |
