Full Description
This thoroughly revised second edition examines the current state of literature in law and political economy, drawing on scholarship across a variety of subject areas, geographies and orientations.
Capturing recent developments in the field, it expands upon the range of debates and themes explored by the previous edition to include growing cross-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional perspectives. Throughout the many chapters included in this updated Research Handbook, contributing authors tackle questions of money and finance, commodities, labour, markets, property and larger questions of economic inequality and justice. The chapters capture contemporary debates on themes such as digital data and investment and unpack complex historical and theoretical shifts in the dynamics of institutional change.
The Research Handbook on Law and Political Economy is an invaluable tool for students and academics with interests related to economics, law and politics. Its useful insights on varying worlds of struggle will also greatly benefit legal policymakers and practising lawyers.
