Obligations: New Trajectories in Law provides a critical analysis
of the role of obligations in contemporary legal and social
practices. As rights have become the preeminent feature of modern
political and legal discourse, the work of obligations has been
overshadowed. Questioning and correcting this dominant image of our
time, this book brings obligations back into view in a way that
fits better with the realities of contemporary social life.
Following a historical account of the changing place and priorities
of obligations in modernity, the book analyses how obligations and
practices of obedience are core to understanding how law sustains
conditions of inequality. But it also explores the enduring role
obligations play in furthering individual and collective
well-being, highlighting their significance in practices that
prioritize human and environmental needs, common goods, and
solidarity. In doing so, it also offers an alternative and cogent
assessment of the force, and the potential, of obligations in
contemporary societies. This original jurisprudential contribution
will appeal to an academic and student readership in law, politics,
and the social sciences.
