CONSTRUCTING PUBLIC INTEREST LAW: TRANSNATIONAL COLLABORATION AND EXCHANGE IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE.

- Abstract
Although law-based activities in Central and Eastern Europe may seem manifestations of a fundamentally American approach, they have been subtly transformed through a complex process of transnational exchange and local adaptation. This article explores the relationship between the United States and Central and Eastern Europe regarding these law-based activities; in doing so, it examines particularly notable examples of a phenomenon dubbed by some as the "new law and development movement. "In today's world the U.S. still exports its legal traditions through "hegemonic globalization." but in places such as Central and Eastern Europe, where U.S. geopolitical concerns are weaker, promotion of the American legal tradition's protection of individual rights may not he the norm.
