Book Synopsis Globalisation and Legal Theory by : William Twining
Download or read book Globalisation and Legal Theory written by William Twining. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even local newspapers report on famines, global warming, human rights, the Internet, volatile financial markets, and world sports. Globalisation is news. What does it mean? What are the implications for understanding law? Can one look at law intelligently from a global perspective? This book addresses such issues by asking how traditional Anglo-American legal theory can respond to the challenges of globalisation. A series of critical, in-depth essays focus both on familiar figures, such as Bentham, Holmes, Hart, Dworkin, and Rawls, and on legal pluralism, comparative law, and post-modernism, represented by Santos and Calvino. The author explores the uses and limitations of our heritage of legal theory in dealing with the complexities of ordering relations at global, international, transnational, regional, national, sub-state, and local levels. In the process, he considers a wide range of issues, such as: Is law becoming detached from the nation state? Is humankind a single moral community? Why is drawing a general map of law in the world more difficult? Is depicting a legal order like depicting cities? What is the relationship between post-modernism and globalisation? The book ends with some provocative proposals for reviving general jurisprudence and rethinking comparative law. Readable, imaginative, and challenging, this book should be read by students of jurisprudence, comparative lawyers, and anyone interested in issues of globalisation.

Book Synopsis Globalisation and Legal Scholarship by : William Twining
Download or read book Globalisation and Legal Scholarship written by William Twining. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Montesquieu seminars, new developments in legal theory are explored and discussed. Fundamental problems experienced in the (practices of) law are reflected critically. A broad range of disciplines contribute at these attempts of sustained critical reflection. No particular school of legal theory is preferred over another. Tilburg Law School has an open mind for new approaches to law and does not want to limit the debate to the agenda set by some school, movement, or discipline. As a result, while the seminars are conceived around urgent actual problems, the focus is interdisciplinary. Due to this, the Montesquieu seminars are especially interesting for national and local politicians, students, policy makers, advisory bodies, entrepreneurs, business management, advocacy, and the judiciary. This book contains a written version of the sixth Montesquieu seminar, which was held in September 2009 by William Twining.

Book Synopsis General Jurisprudence by : William Twining
Download or read book General Jurisprudence written by William Twining. This book was released on 2009-02-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how globalisation influences the understanding of law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law and legal theory. 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 the legal ordering of these relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one of the foremost scholars 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 and legal theory.
