First published in 1996, Explorations in Difference explores how
contemporary debates over identity and difference come into play
within the workings of cultural, legal, and political institutions.
The book brings together a variety of perspectives on the meanings
and implications of difference in the context of postmodern theory.
It is divided into two parts: ‘Theoretical Accounts’, which
establishes a context for postmodern inquiries into difference, and
‘Instances’, which provides application to particular issues.
Highly interdisciplinary, Explorations in Difference continues to
have lasting relevance and will appeal to those with an interest in
postmodern difference and its implications.
Contemporary legal thought has been powerfully influenced by
Critical Legal Studies, a school of legal scholars whose work has
sustained a continuing radical critique of established legal
doctrines. In this essential reference work, Richard Bauman
presents the most thorough, up-to-date guide available for this
essential literature. In addition to providing the basic
bibliographic information, Bauman offers a set of effective
introductions to contextualize and explain the work being surveyed.
He has created a fundamental handbook not only for the law but also
for politics and radical thought.

Unlike most works in constitutional theory, which focus on the role
of the courts, this book addresses the role of legislatures in a
regime of constitutional democracy. Bringing together some of the
world's leading constitutional scholars and political scientists,
the book addresses legislatures in democratic theory, legislating
and deliberating in the constitutional state, constitution-making
by legislatures, legislative and popular constitutionalism, and the
dialogic role of legislatures, both domestically with other
institutions and internationally with other legislatures. The book
offers theoretical perspectives as well as case studies of several
types of legislation from the United States and Canada. It also
addresses the role of legislatures both under the Westminster model
and under a separation of powers system.
