Details

Including the most up-to-date and cutting-edge commentary by several of the best-known legal anthropologists, Comparative Law and Anthropology forms a greater understanding of the synergies between the two disciplines and will significantly advance the study of legal anthropology.

The 21 eminent and global scholars who have contributed to this book represent a broad range of expertise, nationalities and experiences in a wide variety of legal systems. They explore the mutual contributions of anthropology and law, offering insights and practical outlooks drawn from their diverse backgrounds. Chapters explore the role of law in indigenous communities globally, and assess their cultural and contextual differences.

Through a pluralistic definition of law and a multidisciplinary application of anthropological approaches, this Handbook draws attention to the key issues of globalization and the role of international law in shaping community decisions are brought to the fore. This comprehensive Handbook demonstrates the mutuality of the two disciplines and creates a beneficial and enlightening global view for both anthropologists and comparative legal scholars.
