This book explores how globalisation influences the understanding
of law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective,
it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law
and legal theory. Its central thesis is that most processes of
so-called "globalisation" take place at sub-global levels and that
a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all
levels of social relations and the legal ordering of these
relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of
jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take
account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one
of the foremost scholars in the field, this important work presents
an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the
traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through
a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation.
This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and
legal theory.
