Crossing Boundaries: Traditions and Transformations in Law and Society Research
ISBN: 9780810114395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Perhaps no idea is more emblematic of the field of law and society than crossing boundaries. From the founding of the Law and Society Association in the early 1960s, participating scholars aspired to create a field that crossed boundaries in at least two senses: by undertaking research that questioned and often bridged traditional methodological and disciplinary divisions, and by using nontraditional approaches to explore the interconnections between law and its social context. These essays reflect both aspirations.
