This title was first published in 2003. This book examines the
interrelationship between the unravelling of the post-war welfare
state and legal change. By reference to theorists of postmodernity
such as Zygmunt Bauman, Scott Lash and John Urry, and David Harvey,
the principal argument is that contemporary law and legal
institutions can be best understood as having changed in ways that
mirror the recent transformation of the interventionist welfare
state and its Fordist, Keynesian economic infrastructure. The key
changes identified in the legal field include:- the shift toward
marketized regulatory structures as reflected in privatization and
deregulation, the attenuation of welfare rights, the privatization
of justice, legal polycentricity, the reconfiguration of the
welfare state's social citizenship and the globalization of law.
Empirical evidence from a number of jurisdictions is adduced to
indicate the general direction of change. The cumulative extent of
recent social and legal change also forms the basis of a
re-evaluation of some influential neo-evolutionist analyses of the
nature of law in the welfare state, such as those of Unger,
Teubner, Friedmann, Selznick and Habermas, as well as a critical
re-assessment of some contemporary postmodern legal theory.
