Description
Law and Outsiders is a collection of 13 essays from leading young scholars covering five important areas of legal scholarship: adjudication, European law and politics, migration, vulnerable minorities and legal values. The recurring theme in the volume is the way in which rules and processes are contributing to the creation of twenty-first-century 'others' in areas such as domestic constitutional systems, international security and migration, and global human rights discourses. The essays are drawn from the second International Graduate Legal Research Conference, held at King's College London in June 2008.
Reviews
...explorations such as this, in the use of law as an instrument of governmentality to separate bodies, are important engagements not only for law students but also for all students and scholars of social research and politics. -- Jeffrey Stevenson Murer * In-Spire: Journal of Law, Politics and Societies, Volume 6, Issue 1 *
