This book explores the implications of globalisation for understanding law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law, legal theory, and human rights discourse. Its central thesis is that most processes of so-called 'globalisation' take place at sub-global levels and that a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all levels of social relations and legal ordering. It shows how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence should be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by a leading scholar in the field, this important work presents an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation. This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence, human rights, and comparative law and socio-legal studies.
