Introduction -- 'Meanings', 'trust' and 'power' : critical perspectives on legal indicators -- Rule of law promotion, legal indicators and legal pluralism -- Epistemic diversity and voices from the global south : countering the managerial implications of measuring justice -- A capability approach to access to justice in plural legal systems -- Conclusion.

Summary: "This work aims to understand the role of legal indicators and its impact on law and development and on judicial reform. It examines how different institutions shape and influence the making and use of legal indicators and how this affects the functioning of legal systems around the world. Through its attention to debates of legal pluralism, the book inquires whether existing indicator frameworks perpetuate a particular notion of a well-functioning justice system and investigates whether these indicators advance a state centric form of measurement grounded in western normative considerations. The book explores whether legal indicators are able to capture local legal systems that already exist in plural legal orders or whether the targets and values that they prescribe are inapplicable to the contexts of plural legal worlds. It offers an alternative path to developing indicators that maps the experiences and realities of justice users and how they resolve their grievances through plural and competing dispute resolution processes"--
