| Summary: | Institutional capacity-building has become a key element of reform in transition and developing countries in recent years. Underlying this trend is the presumption that homegrown, well-functioning legal institutions-especially those that protect and enforce property and consumer rights-are instrumental in the consolidation of promarket reforms.2 More recently, it has been argued that the protection of human rights and civil liberties, as well as democratic freedoms, plays a crucial role in human development and poverty alleviation by enhancing the capabilities of the poor (UNDP, 2000). Although most of the recent literature focuses on the relationship between "legal capital"--A country's legal institutions-and economic and human development, little is said about the costs borne by the government in building legal capital through expenditures on the protection and enforcement of rights and civil liberties
