{"product_id":"9781108145794","title":"The Unsteady State: General Jurisprudence for Dynamic Social Phenomena","description":"Analytical jurisprudence often proceeds with two key assumptions: that all law is either contained in or traceable back to an authorizing law-state, and that states are stable and in full control of the borders of their legal systems. What would a general theory of law be like and do if these long-standing presumptions were loosened? The Unsteady State aims to assess the possibilities by enacting a relational approach to explanation of law, exploring law's relations to the environment, security, and technology. The account provided here offers a rich and renewed perspective on the preconditions and continuity of legal order in systemic and non-systemic forms, and further supports the view that the state remains prominent yet is now less dominant in the normative lives of norm-subjects and as an object of legal theory.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077692834032,"sku":"9781108145794","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781108145794_p0.jpg?v=1763691003","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781108145794","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
