Sociologist-lawyer Larry D. Barnett advances the macrosociological
thesis that, in nations that are structurally complex and
democratically governed, concepts and doctrines of law on
society-central social activities are fashioned by society-level
conditions, not by particular (or even prominent) individuals.
Because a substantial body of social science research has found
that law in a modern nation does not have a large, permanent effect
on the frequency of such activities, the book contends that the
content of law on the activities is a product, not a determinant,
of the society in which the law exists. Explaining Law bolsters
this contention with several original studies, and illustrates
types of quantitative evidence that can be used to build a
macrosociological theory of law.
