Human Rights Encounter Legal Pluralism : Normative and Empirical Approaches Paperback / softback
Edited by Dr Giselle Corradi, Professor Eva Brems, Mark Goodale
Part of the Onati International Series in Law and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
This collection of essays interrogates how human rights law and practice acquire meaning in relation to legal pluralism, ie, the co-existence of more than one regulatory order in a same social field.
As a social phenomenon, legal pluralism exists in all societies.
As a legal construction, it is characteristic of particular regions, such as post-colonial contexts.
Drawing on experiences from Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe, the contributions in this volume analyse how different configurations of legal pluralism interplay with the legal and the social life of human rights.
At the same time, they enquire into how human rights law and practice influence interactions that are subject to regulation by more than one normative regime.
Aware of numerous misunderstandings and of the mutual suspicion that tends to exist between human rights scholars and anthropologists, the volume includes contributions from experts in both disciplines and intends to build bridges between normative and empirical theory.
