This innovative handbook provides a comprehensive, and truly
global, overview of the main approaches and themes within law and
society scholarship or social-legal studies. A one-volume
introduction to academic resources and ideas that are relevant for
today's debates on issues from reproductive justice to climate
justice, food security, water conflicts, artificial intelligence,
and global financial transactions, this handbook is divided into
two sections. The first, 'Perspectives and Approaches', accessibly
explains a variety of frameworks through which the relationship
between law and society is addressed and understood, with emphasis
on contemporary perspectives that are relatively new to many
socio-legal scholars. Following the book's overall interest in
social justice, the entries in this section of the book show how
conceptual tools originate in, and help to illuminate, real-world
issues. The second and largest section of the book (42 short
well-written pieces) presents reflections on topics or areas
concerning law, justice, and society that are inherently
interdisciplinary and that are relevance to current - but also
classical - struggles around justice. Informing readers about the
lineage of ideas that are used or could be used today for research
and activism, the book attends to the full range of local, national
and transnational issues in law and society. The authors were
carefully chosen to achieve a diverse and non-Eurocentric view of
socio-legal studies. This volume will be invaluable for law
students, those in inter-disciplinary programs such as law and
society, justice studies and legal studies, and those with
interests in law, but based in other social sciences. It will also
appeal to general readers interested in questions of justice and
rights, including activists and advocates around the world.

Africa and the ICC: Perceptions of Justice comprises contributions
from prominent scholars of different disciplines including
international law, political science, cultural anthropology,
African history and media studies. This unique collection provides
the reader with detailed insights into the interaction between the
African Union and the International Criminal Court (ICC), but also
looks further at the impact of the ICC at a societal level in
African states and examines other justice mechanisms on a local and
regional level in these countries. This investigation of the ICC's
complicated relationship with Africa allows the reader to see that
perceptions of justice are multilayered.
The treaty creating the African Court of Justice and Human and
Peoples' Rights, if and when it comes into force, contains
innovative elements that have potentially significant implications
for current substantive and procedural approaches to regional and
international dispute settlements. Bringing together leading
authorities in international criminal law, human rights and
transitional justice, this volume provides the first comprehensive
analysis of the 'Malabo Protocol' while situating it within the
wider fields of international law and international relations. The
book, edited by Professors Jalloh, Clarke and Nmehielle, offers
scholarly, empirical, critically engaged and practical analyses of
some of its most challenging provisions. Breaking new ground on the
African Court, but also treating old concepts in a novel and
relevant way, The African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples'
Rights in Context is for anyone interested in international law,
including international criminal law and international human rights
law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
