This volume presents the first thorough sociologically-informed
legal analysis of the financial crisis which unfolded in 2008. It
combines a multitude of theoretically informed analyses of the
causes, dynamics and reactions to the crisis and contextualises
these within the general structural transformations characterising
contemporary society. It furthermore explores the constitutional
implications of the crisis and suggests concrete changes to the
constitutional set-up of contemporary society. Although the
question of individual responsibility is of crucial importance, the
central idea animating the volume is that the crisis cannot be
reduced to a mere failure of risk perception and management for
which individual and collective actors within and outside of
financial organisations are responsible. The 2008 crisis should
rather be understood as a symptom of far deeper structural
transformations. For example contemporary society is characterised
by massive accelerations in the speed with which societal processes
are reproduced as well as radical expansions in the level of
globalisation. These transformations have, however, been
asymmetrical in nature insofar as the economic system has outpaced
its legal and political counterparts. The future capability of
legal and political systems to influence economic reproduction
processes is therefore conditioned by equally radical
transformations of their respective operational forms and
self-understanding. Potentially the 2008 crisis, therefore, has
far-reaching constitutional implications.
