Beskrivning

This collection explores the analytical, empirical and normative components that distinguish socio-legal approaches to international economic law both from each other, and from other approaches. It pays particular attention to the substantive focus (what) of socio-legal approaches, noting that they go beyond the text to consider context and, often, subtext. In the process of identifying the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ (analytical and empirical tools) of their own socio-legal approaches, contributors to this collection reveal why they or anyone else ought to bother--the many reasons ‘why’ it is important, for theory and for practice, to take a social legal approach to international economic law.

"Throughout its interrogation of text, context, and subtext, the book’s objective is to explore IEL’s dimensions ‘sometimes for the objective purpose of achieving clarity, sometimes with a view to changing them’ (p. 15). Some contributions are particularly incisive—those of Tan, Cotterell, and Frerichs, as well as Perry-Kessaris herself, might be singled out for special mention in this regard." - Fiona Smith for Journal of International Economic Law (2014, 17, 867–869)
