Title: LAW, MODERNITY, POSTMODERNITY: LEGAL CHANGE IN THE CONTRACTING STATE
Description: "This book examines the interrelationship between the unravelling of the post-war welfare state and legal change. By reference to theorists of postmodernity such as Zygmunt Bauman, Scott Lash and John Urry, and David Harvey, the principal argument is that contemporary law and legal institutions can be best understood as having changed in ways that mirror the recent transformation of the interventionist welfare state and its Fordist, Keynesian economic infrastructure."--Jacket.
