  • Rethinking Law, Society and Governanceby Gary Wickham; George Pavlich

    Hart 2001; US$ 163.20

    This set of essays engages with some aspects of Foucault’s notion of governmentality,particularly at the junction where law/regulation meets ‘the social’. ‘The social’, as a special sphere of government, is a special area of concern for those working within broad intellectual spaces of the ‘governmentality approach’. Is it the basis of modern liberal systems of government? Is it dead, or even feeling unwell? Has it spawned hybrid forms of government like neo-liberalism, neo-conservatism, or even neo-socialism?. In making their presence felt in the debates that have flourished around such questions, especially by highlighting the subtleties of the roles played by law and regulation in the governance of the... more...

  • Living Lawby Marc Hertogh

    Hart 2008; US$ 117.60

    This collection of essays is the first edited volume in the English language which is entirely dedicated to the work of Eugen Ehrlich. Eugen Ehrlich (1862-1922) was an eminent Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law. He is considered by many as one of the 'founding fathers' of modern sociology of law. Although the importance of his work (including his concept of 'living law') is widely recognised, Ehrlich has not yet received the serious international attention he deserves. Therefore, this collection of essays is aimed at 'reconsidering' Eugen Ehrlich by bringing together an interdisciplinary group of leading international experts to discuss both the historical and theoretical context of his work and its relevance... more...
