Scholars from nearly all disciplines use the notion of a public-private divide as a means to order knowledge and better understand the mechanisms that govern and shape human behaviour and institutions. In legal and socio-legal analysis, the distinction informs the differences between state and non-state actors and between public good and private property. This rich collection of essays explores how the public-private divide influences, challenges, and interacts with law and law reform. Through various case studies, the contributors reflect on this complex dichotomy's role in structuring the socio-legal environment for the personal, social, economic, and governance relationships of citizens. They demonstrate that while the split between the public and the private is a useful way to understand the world, it is always only an ideological construct, and as such open to challenge. Of primary interest to legal thinkers and practitioners, this volume will also hold sway with sociologists, historians, and political scientists with an interest in the nature of the public-private distinction, and its role in law and society.Legal dimensions series.Public lawCanadaCivil rightsCanadaPublic lawCivil rights342.71Law Commission of Canadaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1619103Law Commission of Canada.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822368503321New perspectives on the public-private divide3951183UNINA
