Summary
This volume - featuring eminent contributors from law, political science, sociology, anthropology, history and political theory - shows that law is often better understood as an entangled web than a coherent system, analysing the ways in which different legalities in domestic, transnational and international law are connected.
Additional text
'This collection, with its stellar cast of contributors, is a must-read for anyone trying to understand today's fast changing global legal landscape. Its central concept of 'entanglement' invites a rich exploration of the ways in which our local legal orders increasingly form an interpenetrated whole.' Neil Walker, Regius Professor of Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations, University of Edinburgh
