Norms beyond Empire seeks to rethink the relationship between law
and empire by emphasizing the role of local normative production.
While European imperialism is often viewed as being able to shape
colonial law and government to its image, this volume argues that
early modern empires could never monolithically control how these
processes unfolded. Examining the Iberian empires in Asia, it seeks
to look at norms as a means of escaping the often too narrow
concept of law and look beyond empire to highlight the ways in
which law-making and local normativities frequently acted beyond
colonial rule. The ten chapters explore normative production from
this perspective by focusing on case studies from China, India,
Japan, and the Philippines. Contributors are: Manuel Bastias
Saavedra, Marya Svetlana T. Camacho, Luisa Stella de Oliveira
Coutinho Silva, Romulo da Silva Ehalt, Patricia Souza de Faria,
Fupeng Li, Miguel Rodrigues Lourenco, Abisai Perez Zamarripa,
Marina Torres Trimallez, and Angela Barreto Xavier.
