Details

In this first full-length study of legal monism, Paul Gragl advocates for the revival of legal monism as a solution to normative conflicts between different bodies of law. Using comprehensive and inter-disciplinary arguments, this book defends the theory against dualism and pluralism.

  • The first comprehensive monograph on legal monism
  • Offers practitioners and policy-makers alternative methods of dealing with current problems
  • Engagement with philosophical, epistemological, legal, moral, and political arguments makes it appealing to inter-disciplinary scholars
