The field of socio-legal research has encountered three fundamental
challenges over the last three decades – it has been criticized
for paying insufficient attention to legal doctrine, for failing to
develop a sound theoretical foundation and for not keeping pace
with the effects of the increasing globalization and
internationalization of law, state and society. This book examines
these three challenges from a methodological standpoint. It
addresses the first two by demonstrating that legal sociology has
much to say about justice as a kind of social experience and has
always engaged theoretically with forms of normativity, albeit on
its own empirical terms rather than on legal theory’s analytical
terms. The book then explores the third challenge, a result of the
changing nature of society, by highlighting the move from the
industrial relations of early modernity to the post-industrial
conditions of late modernity, an age dominated by information
technology. It poses the question whether socio-legal research has
sufficiently reassessed its own theoretical premises regarding the
relationship between law, state and society, so as to grasp the new
social and cultural forms of organization specific to the
twenty-first century’s global societies.
