More about the book

Focusing on a pluralist approach, this textbook critiques existing Western legal theories in the context of globalization, particularly regarding Asian and African legal systems. It integrates major legal schools of thought while offering a comprehensive examination of Hindu, Muslim, African, and Chinese laws. The author, Menski, emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of law as a complex and interactive phenomenon, addressing the limitations of traditional comparative and international legal frameworks.
