Reflecting a developing trend towards interdisciplinary research
in economics and law, this agenda-setting volume makes the case for
economic sociology of law - an emerging field that draws on
empirical, analytical and normative insights from sociology to
investigate relationships between legal and economic phenomena. It
locates this novel subject in a wider socio-legal tradition and
identifies common ground between Polanyian and Weberian approaches
to the law, economy, and society, despite the two theorists'
divergent views on the functionality of the capitalist model. The
volume provides a platform for researchers' critical responses to
the 'social embeddedness' of market societies.
Contributors demonstrate the value of applying a combination of
methods in their work, from heterogeneous disciplines such as legal
history and ethnography. They consider the position in the western
and developed nations, as well as in post-colonial polities. The
resulting publication is a well-crafted primer on a specialism
that, by combining the insights of socio-economic analysis with the
formative influences exerted by their specific legal contexts,
informs a more nuanced assessment of law, economics and
society.
