ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Analytical Law and Development Model (ADM). The ADM is an analytical legislative reference and a law reform tool to be developed in several key areas for economic development, such as legal systems, property rights (including intellectual property rights), political governance, the regulatory framework for business transactions, state industrial promotion, public health and the environment, taxation, corporate governance, competition law, banking and financing, labor, corruption, the criminalization of economic offenses, compliance and enforcement, and the international legal framework (i.e., international economic law and international development law). This chapter discusses the necessity of developing the ADM and its potential contribution to law reform projects.
