Law and Outsiders - by Cian C Murphy & Penny Green (Paperback)

About the Book

Selection of essays presented at the International Graduate Legal Research Conference at King's College London, in June 2008.

Book Synopsis

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.

Review Quotes
