Abstract
Abstract Global legal pluralism has become one of the leading analytical frameworks for understanding and conceptualizing law in the twenty-first century. Wherever one looks, there is conflict among multiple legal regimes—some of which are state-based; some are built and maintained by nonstate actors; some fall within the purview of local authorities and jurisdictional entities; and some involve international courts, tribunals, and arbitral bodies, as well as regulatory organizations. Global legal pluralism has provided, first and foremost, a set of useful analytical tools for describing this conflict among legal and quasi-legal systems. At the same time, some pluralists have also ventured in a more normative direction, suggesting that legal systems might sometimes purposely create legal procedures, institutions, and practices that encourage interaction among multiple communities in order to foster dialogue across difference. Featuring works from a diverse set of authors touching on nearly every area of legal pluralism research, this book is the first comprehensive review of global legal pluralism scholarship ever produced. As such, it is a must-have for scholars and students seeking to understand the insights of legal pluralism to contemporary debates about law.
