Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law and legal theory. Its central thesis is that most processes of so-called 'globalisation' take place at sub-global levels and that a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all levels of social relations and the legal ordering of these relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one of the foremost scholars in the field, this important work presents an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation. This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and legal theory. 410 0$aLaw in context. 606 $aJurisprudence 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw and globalization 606 $aLegal positivism 615 0$aJurisprudence. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw and globalization. 615 0$aLegal positivism. 676 $a340 700 $aTwining$b William L.$0269135 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777758503321 996 $aGeneral jurisprudence$91566688 997 $aUNINA
