Stateless Law:
Evolving Boundaries of a Discipline
di Helge Dedek Shauna Van Praagh
This volume offers a critical analysis and
illustration of the challenges and promises of ‘stateless’ law thought,
pedagogy and approaches to governance - that is, understanding and
conceptualizing law in a post-national condition. From common, civil and
international law perspectives, the collection focuses on the definition and
role of law as an academic discipline, and hybridity in the practice and
production of law. With contributions by a diverse and international group of
scholars, the collection includes fourteen chapters written in English and
three in French. Confronting the ‘transnational challenge’ posed to the
traditional theoretical and institutional structures that underlie the teaching
and study of law in the university, the seventeen authors of Stateless Law:
Evolving Boundaries of a Discipline bring new insight to the ongoing and
crucial conversation about the future shape of legal scholarship, education and
practice that is emblematic of the early twenty-first century. This collection
is essential reading for academics, institutions and others involved in
determining the future roles, responsibilities and education of jurists, as
well as for academics interested in Law, Sociology, Political Science and
Education.
