Reviews
'Having long advocated a contextual appreciation of law, in General Jurisprudence, William Twining insists that we cannot understand law without taking a more cosmopolitan approach - an approach that moves beyond Western legal traditions to embrace the many different practices of social ordering. This is vintage Twining, clear and compelling while always challenging.' Roger Brownsword, King's College London, '… General Jurisprudence is at once a call to action about reorienting how the idea of jurisprudence should be pursues in today's globalized environment, and the reflection of an exemplary career as a legal scholar.' Journal of Law and Society, '... General Jurisprudence is at once a call to action about reorienting how the idea of jurisprudence should be pursues in today's globalized environment, and the reflection of an exemplary career as a legal scholar.' Journal of Law and Society, 'With general exhortation and detailed illustration, this book promotes the skills and techniques of municipal jurisprudence and challenges its complacencies, through making the case for a global perspective on law.'

Synopsis
This book explores how globalisation influences the understanding of law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law and legal theory. Its central thesis is that most processes of so-called 'globalisation' take place at sub-global levels and that a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all levels of social relations and the legal ordering of these relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one of the foremost scholars in the field, this important work presents an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation. This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and legal theory., This exciting vision of law and jurisprudence challenges some orthodox assumptions of the Western tradition of academic law and shows how the study of law, justice and human rights can be extended to encompass other legal traditions and cultures at all levels of legal ordering.

    Item was never shipped, and the seller did not respond to any of my messages. When I requested a cancellation, they declined. eBay had to intervene to resolve the issue.
