| Summary: | "Legal Polycentricity introduces the discussion on the many forms and centres of law creation to legal theory and jurisprudence. Neither the national state nor supra-national institutions have a monopoly of normative power. The investigation of this process has mainly been dealt with in legal sociology and anthropology, where changes in non-Western contexts have been significant. Legal theorists have only considered few theoretical consequences of the empirical and normative changes which are taking place also in the Western world on a both local and regional level. The concept of legal 'polycentricity' offers a way to grasp a changing reality and deal with its theoretical consequences"--Unedited summary from book cover |
