Beschreibung
The second edition of this textbook develops a new approach to understanding law as an internally plural, interactive phenomenon in a globalising world. It highlights the inadequacies of current Western theoretical approaches in comparative law, international law, legal theory and jurisprudence, especially for studying Asian and African laws. Menski combines the major schools of legal thought to develop a new pluralist approach to understanding law, based on his detailed yet concise examination of the history and concepts of Hindu law, Muslim law, African laws and Chinese law.
