Across the globe, law in all its variety is becoming more central
to politics, public policy, and everyday life. For over four
decades, Robert A. Kagan has been a leading scholar of the causes
and consequences of the march of law that is characteristic of late
20th and early 21st century governance. In this volume, top
sociolegal scholars use Kagan's concepts and methods to examine the
politics of litigation and regulation, both in the United States
and around the world. Through studies of civil rights law, tobacco
politics, "Eurolegalism," Russian auto accidents, Australian coal
mines, and California prisons, these scholars probe the politics of
different forms of law, and the complex path by which "law on the
books" shapes social life. Like Kagan's scholarship, Varieties of
Legal Order moves beyond stale debates about litigiousness and
overregulation, and invites us to think more imaginatively about
how the rise of law and legalism will shape politics and social
life in the 21st century.
