This work brings together eight linked essays which make the case for a
revival of general jurisprudence in response to the challenges of
globalisation, explores how far the heritage of Anglo-American
jurisprudence and comparative law is adequate to meeting the challenges,
and puts forward an agenda for general jurisprudence and comparative
law, especially in the English-speaking world in the first ten or twenty
years of the millennium. The book is traditional in focussing on the
mainstream of Anglo-American intellectual heritage and moderately
radical in identifying the need for rethinking basic issues and putting
forward a series of provocative propositions as a basis for discussion.
