The Role Of International Law Firms And Multijural Legal Human Capital In The Harmonization Of Legal Regimes, Gillian K. Hadfield
The Role Of International Law Firms And Multijural Legal Human Capital In The Harmonization Of Legal Regimes, Gillian K. Hadfield
Gillian K Hadfield
The problem of harmonizing legal rules across multiple overlapping legal orders is, in part, a problem of knowledge. If the public goal of harmonization is to promote value in transactions and dispute resolution, a legal regime needs institutions that facilitate the production of multijural human capital: expertise about how legal rules interact with each other and with the environment in which economic actors design transactions and dispute processing mechanisms.

A strong correlation might exist between entrepreneurship and long-term regional
employment growth (Acs and Armington, 2003). Entrepreneurship may be a more
sustainable economic development strategy than alternatives, like industrial recruitment,
because entrepreneurs tend to locate in their home region. Research and policies on
fostering entrepreneurship are hindered, however, by the lack of a clear definition and
measure of entrepreneurship (Bruyat and Pierre-Andre, 2000). Multiple definitions of
entrepreneurship, often flawed, lead to contradictory findings that fuel policymaker
confusion (Tamasy, 2006). Most importantly, the commonly used measures of
