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.
