| Summary |
"This book offers a comparative study of the management of legal pluralism. The authors describe and analyse the way state and non-state legal systems acknowledge legal pluralism (defined as the coexistence of a state and non-state legal systems in the same space in respect of the same subject matter for the same population) and determine its consequences for their own purposes. The book sheds light on the management processes deployed by legal systems in Africa, Canada, Central Europe and the South Pacific, the multitudinous factors circumscribing the action of systems and individuals with respect to legal pluralism, and the effects of management strategies and processes on systems as well as on individuals. The book offers insight on applied legal pluralism, a fast-growing field of scholarship and professional practice. Drawing from original empirical data collected in several countries by a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, it provides a thorough account of the intricate patterns of state and non-state practices with respect to legal pluralism"-- Provided by the publisher. "This book ... based primarily on data gathered in Africa (South Africa, Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, and Zambia), Canada (Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok, the Innu, and the Secwepemc), Central Europe (Roma communities in Romania) and the South Pacific ... Funded primarily by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie, the project, also known as Legitimus, is led by the Canada Research Chair on Legal Diversity and Indigenous Studies of the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa"--ECIP page 10 |
