Reviews

'...it provides a wealth of insightful, scholarly and wide-ranging discussion. It deserves to be read by anyone interested in the now vitally important task of exploring the nature of legal pluralism as a contemporary phenomenon, and as a key organizing idea for current theoretical inquiries about law.' Law and Politics Book Review ’This excellent book may scare off many traditional and mentally-enslaved lawyers by proposing that law is ’ubiquitous’. But we cannot sit on the fence; we have to make decisions, all the time. Are such decisions adequate and ’just’? This book’s case for wider acceptance of the methodologies of legal pluralism is exceedingly well argued.’ Social & Legal Studies ’Melissaris has made a sophisticated and substantial contribution to our understanding of the legal and normative plurality of the present. The book deserves to be widely read.’ Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence
