Description: Towards an Economic Sociology of Law, Paperback by Ashiagbor, Diamond (EDT); Kotiswaran, Prabha (EDT); Perry-Kessaris, Amanda (EDT), ISBN 1118508254, ISBN-13 9781118508251, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Reflecting a developing trend towards interdisciplinary research in economics and law, this agenda-setting volume makes the case for economic sociology of law &; an emerging field that draws on empirical, analytical and normative insights from sociology to investigate relationships between legal and economic phenomena. It locates this novel subject in a wider socio-legal tradition and identifies common ground between Polanyian and Weberian approaches to the law, economy, and society, despite the two theorists&; divergent views on the functionality of the capitalist model. The volume provides a platform for researchers&; critical responses to the &;social embeddedness&; of market societies. Contributors demonstrate the value of applying a combination of methods in their work, from heterogeneous disciplines such as legal history and ethnography. They consider the position in the western and developed nations, as well as in post-colonial polities. The resulting publication is a well-crafted primer on a specialism that, by combining the insights of socio-economic analysis with the formative influences exerted by their specific legal contexts, informs a more nuanced assessment of law, economics and society.
