This slim volume ... is packed with rich detail that contributes to a deep theoretical engagement with both the legal pluralism and human rights literatures. The papers collectively and individually push the theoretical envelope through which we conceptualize legal pluralism, and better understand its intersections with human rights.

Original research and theory on the relations between law, legal institutions and social processes. The volumes in this series are eclectic in their disciplines, methodologies and theoretical perspectives, but they all share a strong comparative emphasis. The volumes originate in workshops hosted by the Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law.
