SynopsisThis book applies the insights of Marxist social theory and politics to law. After presenting a clear and unified discussion of Marxism, Collins examines the special characteristics of legal institutions, rules, and ideals. He focuses particularly on the Marxist critique of the ideal of the Rule of Law, discussing law and class oppression, ideology and law, base and superstructure, the future of law, and class struggle and the rule of law., "A clear and articulate summary of recent debates about law within European Marxism...For teaching purposes this is certainly the best available monograph."--Choice. "Collins has achieved a coherent and well-reasoned ordering of the most salient insights of Marxist analyses of law."--Dennis M. Patterson in Legal Studies Forum. Easily comprehensible to those unacquainted with Marxism, this text provides a thorough introductory account of law from a Marxist point of view, covering such topics as Law as an Instrument of Class Oppression, Ideology and Law, and Class Struggle and the Rule of Law.
