Sommario/riassunto

Law in Perspective is intended to encourage critical, responsible and creative thinking about law as a system of ideas and a social institution. This second edition has been revised to include new chapters on human rights, liberal democracy, economic efficiency, problems of the market, and distributive justice. As well, the information provided on terrorism and refugees has been updated and a new chapter has been added on just and unjust wars.
