This special issue of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society aims to
foster a dialogue that is inclusive, constructive, and innovative
in order to lay the basis for evaluating the usefulness and impact
of cultural expertise in modern litigation. It investigates the
scope of cultural expertise as a new socio-legal concept that
broadly concerns the use of social sciences in connection with
rights and the solution of conflicts. While the definition of
cultural expertise is new, the conflicts it applies to are not, and
these range from criminal law to civil law, including international
human rights. In this special issue, socio-legal scientists with
interdisciplinary backgrounds scrutinize the applicability of the
notion of cultural expertise in Europe and the rest of the World.
Cases include murder, female genital mutilation, earthquake claims,
Islamic law, underage marriages, child custody, adoption, land
rights, and asylum. The authors debate on a variety of themes, such
as legal pluralism, ethnicity, causal determinism, reification of
culture, and the "culturalization" of defendants. The volume
concludes with an overview of the ethical implications of the
definition of cultural expertise and suggestions for a way forward.
