Applied Legal Pluralism : Processes, Driving Forces and Effects Paperback / softback
by Ghislain (University of Ottawa, Canada.) Otis, Jean (University of Montreal, Canada.) Leclair, Sophie Theriault
Paperback / softback
Description
This book offers a comparative study of the management of legal pluralism.
The authors describe and analyse the way state and non-state legal systems acknowledge legal pluralism – defined as the coexistence of a state and non-state legal systems in the same space in respect of the same subject matter for the same population - and determine its consequences for their own purposes.
The book sheds light on the management processes deployed by legal systems in Africa, Canada, Central Europe and the South Pacific, the multitudinous factors circumscribing the action of systems and individuals with respect to legal pluralism, and the effects of management strategies and processes on systems as well as on individuals.
The book offers fresh practical and analytical insight on applied legal pluralism, a fast-growing field of scholarship and professional practice.
Drawing from a wealth of original empirical data collected in several countries by a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, it provides a thorough account of the intricate patterns of state and non-state practices with respect to legal pluralism. As the book’s non-prescriptive approach helps to uncover and evaluate several biases or assumptions on the part of policy makers, scholars and development agencies regarding the nature and the consequences of legal pluralism, it will appeal to a wide range of scholars and practitioners in law, development studies, political science and social sciences.
