This volume investigates the role of legal professionals in the creation, expansion, and institutionalization of transnational justice systems. The editors, Yves Dezalay and Bryant G. Garth, draw upon their extensive expertise in the sociology of law to assemble a collection of essays that analyze how lawyers navigate the intersection of national interests and global legal norms. The work argues that transnational justice is not merely a neutral application of law, but a constructed field shaped by the strategic actions of elite legal actors and political networks.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this collection as a significant contribution to the sociology of international law, particularly for its focus on the agency of individual lawyers within global institutions.
