That is the case for nations that have never enjoyed a liberal political society, for nations that have advanced towards and then retreated from political liberalism, for nations that have recently shifted from authoritarian to liberal political systems, and for mature democracies facing terrorism and domestic conflict. This book tests for the contemporary world the proposition that lawyers are active agents in the construction of liberal political regimes. It examines the efficacy of a framework that postulates that legal professions not only orient themselves to a market for their services but can frequently be seen in the forefront of actors seeking to institutionalise political liberalism. On the basis of some 16 case studies from across the world, the authors present a theoretical link between lawyers and political liberalism having wide-ranging application over radically diverse situations in Asia and the Middle East, North and South America, and Europe. They argue that it is not the politics of lawyers alone but the politics of a 'legal complex' of legally trained occupations, centred on lawyers and judges, that drives advances or retreats from political liberalism, that political liberalism itself is everywhere in play, in countries with established democracies and those without liberal politics and that it is now clear that the legal arena is a central field of struggle over the shape of political power. The case studies presented here provide powerful evidence that the nexus of bar and bench in transitions towards or away from political liberalism is a force which has universal application 410 0$aOn?ati international series in law and society. 606 $aLiberalism$vCross-cultural studies 606 $2Law & society 606 $aCivil rights$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLaw$xPolitical aspects$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberalism 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aLaw$xPolitical aspects 676 $a320.51/3 702 $aHalliday$b Terence C$g(Terence Charles), 702 $aKarpik$b Lucien 702 $aFeeley$b Malcolm 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450914203321 996 $aFighting for political freedom$92451460 997 $aUNINA
