This collection of essays by a leading legal theorist seeks to re-locate the relationship between the traditional concerns of legal theory and the sociology of law, by establishing a consistent theoretical approach to the analysis of law in contemporary Western societies. The book is based upon previously published essays which have been extensively revised and updated, and offers a contribution to the study of law and social theory.
