This volume introduces and collects some of the leading articles on
noted economist and philosopher Amartya Sen's contributions to law
and jurisprudence. While Sen has not contributed explicitly to the
discipline of law, his scholarship has inspired significant
investigations of core jurisprudential subjects. With the
publication of The Idea of Justice in 2009, Sen has contributed
many notable ideas to important concepts of jurisprudence,
challenging notions of universalism and institutionalism in
jurisprudential concepts, and contributing his own ideas on justice
and equality. He offers fresh insights on the content of democracy
and enumerates what good decision making in different contexts
might entail. He has written importantly on issues of identity and
cosmopolitanism, demonstrating the complexity of modern ideas of
diversity, fairness and most importantly, sensitivity to context in
assessing policies and governmental strategies. This curated
collection of essays seeks to explore what other scholars have made
of Sen's contributions to law and jurisprudence and the achievement
of justice at both local and global levels. It includes an
introductory essay that provides an overview of Sen's corpus of
work and sorts, defines and explains the issues that are explored
more fully in the 14 essays that follow. Those essays engage with
different aspect of Sen's work, addressing his influence on
political theory; jurisprudence; law with applications to
constitutional theory and adjudication; deliberative democracy;
political participation and decision making; human rights; labour
law; law and development; gender justice; economic and political
development and measurements; and assessment and theories of
individual, collective and global justice.
