Produktbeschreibung
Legal pluralism refers to the existence of multiple legal systems within a single geographic area or social system. Plural legal systems can be observed in countries which used to be colonies in the past wherein the law of a former colonial authority co-exists with an existing traditional or customary legal system. Globalization promotes legal pluralism as it increases the circulation of legal forms and practices from one country to another. Constitutions, codes, and legal institutions are commonly transplanted often with the intention of reform. Globalization also tends to increase legal pluralism by constructing a global legal order. This includes international commercial law which is encouraged by the increasing flow of transnational commercial activities. This book traces the history, theory, and consequences of legal pluralism. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for law experts.
