Inter-Trans-Supra? Legal relations and power structures in history

Abstract

This edited volume covers a range of topics on two main themes. On the one hand, the volume focuses on hierarchies and power structures in legal history and analyses legal historical topics from an inter-, trans- and/or supra-national perspective, transcending the borders of national imagined communities. On the other, contributions specialised on specific national legal cultures look at the interplay between legal and power relations, expressing the mechanism of social inclusion and exclusion. Both approaches demonstrate the nexus between law and power structures in the global history of the last millennia.
