Laying Down the Law: The American Legal Revolutions in Occupied Germany and Japan
R. W. Kostal
After WWII, U. S. leaders sought to create liberal rule-of-law regimes in Germany and Japan, but the effort was often unsuccessful. Kostal argues that the manifest failings of America’s own rule-of-law democracy were partially to blame, weakening U. S. credibility and resolve and revealing the country’s ambiguous status as a global moral authority.
