Inhaltsangabe

Is litigation an effective response to the malignant behavior of large institutions or a cancer spreading through the body politic? Does litigation provide an even field for David to battle Goliath, or is it like th eColiseum, where the lion almost always won? Drawing upon insights from law and politics, Multi-Party Litigation outlines the historical development, political design, and regulatory desirability of multi-party litigation strategies in cross-national perspective and describes a battle being fought on multiple fronts by competing interests. By addressing the potential and constraints of litigation, this book offers a comprehensive account of an international issue that will interest students and practitioners of law, politics, and public policy.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is about the politics of lawsuits in which multiple parties are pitted against powerful corporate interests in a battle for money, pride, and prominence. Yet, at the heart of these struggles is the tension between what it means to be an individual and a member of a group, between law and policy. It is a compelling read with great legal stories and a strong analytic structure.--John Brigham, University of Massachusetts, Amherst-
