Twining, William L.

Globalisation and legal theory / William Twining. - London : Butterworths, c2000. - xii, 279 p. ; 22 cm - Law in context .

This book addresses the issues of globalisation, its implications for understanding law and law from a global perspective by asking how traditional Anglo-American legal theory can respond to the challenges of globalisation. A series of critical, in-depth essays focus both on familiar figures, such as Bentham, Holmes, Hart, Dworkin and Rawls, and on legal pluralism, comparative law, and post-modernism, respesented by Santos and Calvino. The author explores the uses and limitations of our heritage of legal theory in dealing with the complexities of ordering relations at global, international, transnational, regional, national, sub-state and local levels. - Back cover
