Full Description
Taking its cue from theoretical and ideological calls to challenge globalisation as a dynamic of homogenisation - and resistance - as led from, and directed against, the Global North, this volume asks: what can we see when we shift the lens beyond a North-South binary?
Based on empirical studies of 'frontier-zones' of legal globalisation in India, Pakistan and Latin America, the book adopts an original format. Framed as a relational dialogue between newer as well as more prominent scholars within the field, from various cores through to postcolonial academic peripheries, it questions structural variables in the shadows of legal globalisation and how we as scholars build a space for critique.
