Compensating Asbestos Victims (eBook, ePUB)

Law and the Dark Side of Industrialization

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the emergence and transformations of asbestos compensation to explore the wider issue of to what extent legal systems have converged in the era of globalization. With material gathered from fifty interviews and from primary and secondary sources, the book advances our understanding of how law operates within cultural norms, routines and institutional relations of capitalist societies. The author also reflects more widely on law as a cultural phenomenon, national styles of legal culture and the convergence and divergence of legal cultures, and law as a form of institutionalized power.
