Description: "This book presents a distinctive approach to the study of law in society, focusing on the sociological interpretation of legal ideas. It explores links between legal studies and social theory and relates its approach to sociolegal research, on the one hand, and legal philosophy, on the other. It argues for a rethinking of the concept of law to take account of new forms of legal and cultural pluralism and the growing significance of transnational law."--BOOK JACKET.
