The Politics of Law and Order

Rule of law in modern legal systems is accepted as a fundamental principle that is in direct correlation with the legal state, democracy and the realization of human rights and freedoms. Law and politics create their own particular pictures of reality. Sometimes those pictures overlap, sometimes they differ. The relation between politics and law has both a progressive function and a safeguarding function. Law and politics, separately or together, both encourage and suppress the development of societal relations, while they both also function to bring about justice and order. This book examines some basic characteristics of the relationship between national and international law and politics. It will also attempt to explain the relation between the rule of law and the economic development. It will present the emphasis on the rule of law and its role through the years.
