Law and economics has arguably become one of the most influential
theories in contemporary legal theory and adjudication. The essays
in this volume, authored by both legal scholars and economists,
constitute lively and critical engagements between law and
economics and new institutional economics from the perspectives of
legal and evolutionary theory. The result is a fresh look at core
concepts in law and economics - such as 'institutions',
'institutional change' and 'market failure' - that offer new
perspectives on the relationship between economic and legal
governance. The increasingly transnational dimension of regulatory
governance presents lawyers, economists and social scientists with
an unprecedented number of complex analytical and conceptual
questions. The contributions to this volume engage with legal
theory, new institutional economics, economic sociology and
evolutionary economics in an interdisciplinary assessment of the
capacities and limits of the state, markets and institutions.
Drawing as well upon legal sociology and the philosophy of law, the
authors expand and transform the known terrain of 'law and
economics' by applying evolutionary theory to both law and
economics from a domestic and transnational perspective. Legal
scholars, evolutionary and regulatory theorists, economists,
economic sociologists, economic historians and political scientists
will find this cutting-edge volume both challenging and engaging.
