Law and Empire provides a comparative view of legal practices in
Asia and Europe, from Antiquity to the eighteenth century. It
relates the main principles of legal thinking in Chinese, Islamic,
and European contexts to practices of lawmaking and adjudication.
In particular, it shows how legal procedure and legal thinking
could be used in strikingly different ways. Rulers could use law
effectively as an instrument of domination; legal specialists built
their identity, livelihood and social status on their knowledge of
law; and non-elites exploited the range of legal fora available to
them. This volume shows the relevance of legal pluralism and the
social relevance of litigation for premodern power structures.
