An Introduction to the Sociology of Law;

What is the role of law in modern society? Dragan Milovanovic provides clear, insightful summaries of both classic theorists and contemporary schools of thought. Part 1 of the book presents the views of Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Karl Marx. Part 2 explores newer perspectives, including sociological jurisprudence, legal realism, the critical legal studies movement, feminist jurisprudence, critical race theory, the structural approach, the autopoietic view, the behavioristic perspective of Donald Black, legal semiotics, and the postmodern feminist and constitutive approaches.
