This book is the fifth in the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group series
and it concerns the evolving notions and practices of kinship in
contemporary Britain and the interrelationship of kinship, law and
social policy. Assembling contributions from scholars in a range of
disciplines, it examines social, legal, cultural and psychological
questions related to kinship. Rising rates of divorce and of
alternative modes of partnership have raised questions about the
care and well-being of children, while increasing longevity and
mobility, together with lower birth rates and changes in our
economic circumstances, have led to a reconsideration of duties and
responsibilities towards the care of elderly people. In addition,
globalisation trends and international flows of migrants and
refugees have confronted us with alternative constructions of
kinship and with the challenges of maintaining kinship ties
transnationally. Finally, new developments in genetics research and
the growing use of assisted reproductive technologies may raise
questions about our notions of kinship and of kin rights and
responsibilities. The book explores these changes from various
perspectives and draws on theoretical and empirical data to
describe practices of kinship in contemporary Britain.
