Anthony H. Barash, Scholar-in-Residence Democracy and the Rule of Law in Developing Nations Seminar

March 8 - May 3, 2005
Every Tuesday from 4-6 pm

The Richard W. Riley Institute of Government, Politics, and Public Leadership announced Mr. Tony Barash as the first Riley Scholar in Residence. Mr. Barash has had a distinguished legal career, serving as Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel of Bowater Inc. In May 2003, Mr. Barash became the American Bar Association/Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative (ABA/CEELI) Officer in Uzbekistan. For a year and a half he worked to develop the Uzbeki legal and judicial systems in addition to those of other Central Asian States.

This seminar explored the role of the Rule of Law in the democratization of developing nations. Informed by the instructor’s personal experiences as the leader of a judicial reform program during 2003-04 in the former Soviet Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan and as the leader of a team that assessed the status of judicial reform in the former Soviet Republic of Armenia in the Caucasus in 2004, the course examined the concept of the Rule of Law, the role of the Rule of Law in transitional countries, its comparative value as a democratization tool and as a vehicle to implement the foreign policies of the United States and other First World countries in the developing world.

There were no prerequisites for the seminar other than an interest in the inevitable practical, historical and theoretical conflicts that occur during times of profound geopolitical volatility and change. This is a non-credit course, there are no fees, and all materials will be supplied.
