Taylor & Francis Ltd Exploiting the Limits of Law Swedish Feminism and the Challenge to Pessimism
Book SynopsisMoving beyond the question of whether an area of scholarly investigation can truly be characterized as ''legal'', Exploiting the Limits of Law combats the often unhelpful constraints of law''s subject-matter and formal processes. Through a process of reflection on the limits of law and repeated efforts to redraw them, this book challenges the general sense of pessimism among feminists and others about the usefulness of law as an instrument of change. The work combines theoretical analysis of the law''s boundaries with investigation of the practical settings for changing legal and policy environments. Both the empirical focus of this volume, and its underlying theoretical concern with the limits of the law and its gender implications, render it of interest to legal scholars throughout the world, whether of EU law, feminism, social policy or philosophy.Trade Review'This book deepens our understanding of Swedish legal feminism by contextualising it within the paradigms and epistemologies of Nordic legal scholarship. The authors’ thoroughgoing excavation of the field and their sustained, feminist challenge to the boundaries and limits of accepted legal knowledge, are both thought-provoking and inspiring.' Professor Rosemary Hunter, University of Kent, UK and Chair, Working Group on Gender and Law, Research Committee on Sociology of Law 'This joint Swedish-Australian edited book is useful and inspiring for those generally interested in contemporary understandings of law in a changing world. It takes advantage of the fact that this world is legally plural. The challenges to Nordic understandings of law and to feminist pessimism offered in the diverse theoretical and practice oriented contributions are both timely and uplifting.' Professor Hanne Petersen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 'Exploiting the limits of law is a well-edited collection of exciting articles moving beyond the disciplinary question of what exactly should or could be characterised as 'legal' studies. The book offers very helpful critical analysis for all those interested in Scandinavian realism, legal dogmatics, current developments in welfare state feminism and the shortcomings of critical legal studies in the Nordic context, from a feminist point of view. It also contributes to the critical discussion on how to approach the question of law and politics, and how to challenge the social inequalities and power structures that reproduce gender inequalities and sexual hierarchies. The book is very suitable for use as course material in EU law, feminist jurisprudence, social policy, history of law and women's law.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Legal Symbolism On Law Time and European Identity
Book SynopsisJirà PribÃn''s book contributes to the field of systems theory of law in the context of European legal and political integration and constitution-making. It puts recent European legislative efforts and policies, especially the EU enlargement process, in the context of legal theory and philosophy. Furthermore, the author shows that the system of positive law has a symbolic meaning, reflecting how it also contributes to the semantics of political identity, democratic power and moral values, as well as the complex relations between law, politics and morality.Trade Review'Jiri Priban brilliantly challenges us to rethink our conventional ideas about the relationship between morality, culture and law - in particular, constitutional law. In this erudite and compelling book, he takes up the thorniest problems of today’s Europe, including the enlargement of the European Union and post-communist constitution-making in Central Europe, and analyses them against the theory of symbolic communication through law. A bold, ambitious, relentlessly intelligent work.' Wojciech Sadurski, Professor in the Department of Law; European University Institute in Florence. 'Jirà Pribán's rich and sophisticated discussion thoughtfully explores law's complex interactions with morality and politics, and the crucial significance of constitutions in linking legal, moral and political systems. Not least, he highlights major implications for European politics today of the legal and constitutional realities he identifies.' Roger Cotterrell, Anniversary Professor of Legal Theory Queen Mary, University of London 'Pribán manages to put together a timely exposition of the connection between law, politics and morality, both abstractly and in the context of post-communist Central Europe, through a convincing reworking of his previous theses and and expansion in the direction of a firmer understanding of temporality.' International Journal for the Semiotics of LawTable of ContentsContents: Series editor's preface; Introduction; Part I Theory of Symbolic Communication in Law: A Social Systems Perspective: Constitution-making and the symbolic rationality of law: a systemic differentiation of law, politics and morality; The symbolic evolution of political identity from the spirit of the laws; Law and the symbolization of time: the limits of dealing with the past and the future. Part II Identity and Law: European Reflections on Demos and Ethnos: Civil and ethnic traditions and identities: post-communist constitution-making in Central Europe; Identity, constitution-making and the enlargement of the European Union; The symbolic power of European law and search of European politics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Islam Beyond Conflict Indonesian Islam and
Book SynopsisPolitically, Islam in Indonesia is part of a rich multi-cultural mix. Religious tolerance is seen as the cornerstone of relations between different faiths - and moderation is built into the country''s constitutional framework. However, the advent of democracy coupled with the impact of the South-East Asian economic collapse in 1997, and the arrival of a tough new breed of Middle Eastern Islamic preachers, sowed the seeds of the current challenge to Indonesia''s traditionally moderate form of Islam. This volume explores the extent to which moderate Indonesian Islam is able to assimilate leading concepts from Western political theory. The essays in the collection explore how concepts from Western political theory are compatible with a liberal interpretation of Islamic universals and how such universals can form the basis for a contemporary approach to the protection of human rights and the articulation of a modern Islamic civil society.Trade Review'Asking whether Islam and democracy are compatible requires us to explore our understandings of both. This important book brings together thinkers from two very relevant countries - Indonesia and Australia - to pursue the theoretical and real-world complexities that lurk here. It should be read by commentators, policy makers, activists and scholars. M. C. Ricklefs, National University of Singapore, Singapore 'This volume draws together well-informed critical reflections from both Western and Indonesian Islamic perspectives on citizenship, democratization, pluralism, civil society, and the rule of law. The conversations that emerge from this highlight internal tensions and complexities of both traditions in ways that illuminate important aspects of their contemporary interactions.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Feminist and Queer Legal Theory Intimate Encounters Uncomfortable Conversations
Book SynopsisA collection that engages in a rigorous and sometimes contentious exploration of the legal, political, social and cultural implications of the authors' distinct theoretical approaches to gender and sexuality.Trade Review'This exploration of tensions among feminist and queer theorists is possibly the most useful theory anthology of the decade. Tensions are put in play by placing superlative essays in each other's path and letting the provocations rip. Sure to produce a watershed moment for the trajectories of both theory genres, the anthology is so smartly organized and interspersed with incisive editorial material that it will teach itself.' Wendy Brown, University of California, Berkeley, USA '... an eclectic and interesting collection of essays rethinking legal categories and policies through feminist and gay perspectives. In this volume, one will encounter the sexual family, the sanitized workplace, compulsory matrimony, transgressive caretaking, and other iconoclastic concepts.'
