Metamorphoses of Global Law
On the Interaction of Law, Time, and Technology
Ricardo Resende Campos This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between law, time, and new technologies to explain the emergence and transformation of global law, with a special focus on platform economy� It describes the 'metamorphoses of global law' on the basis of an experimental understanding of legal theory that looks beyond the systematisation of dogmatic categories, the reproduction of prefabricated theories� The book offers a novel and sound theoretical approach to the formation of society within a highly digitalised and platform-oriented world, conjugating the work of several authors, including Niklas Luhmann, Gunther Teubner, Carl Schmitt, Jürgen Habermas, and Lawrence Lessing�

The Nature and Impacts of Noncompliance
Edvaldo Moita, Fluminense Federal University, Brazil This book explores the legal implications of the global informal economy in which over 2 billion people work (61% of the world’s employed population)� It considers the phenomenon of informality and the functioning of the legal system in contexts where noncompliance is widespread� Focusing on street vending in Brazil, the book provides an account of the phenomenon’s legal nature, focusing on what can be conceived as noncompliance and by which forms noncompliant behaviour can be assessed� It goes on to set out the most striking impacts of noncompliance; specifically, what happens with the legal system when noncompliance becomes pervasive�

Hart, Fuller, and Everything After
The Politics of Legal Theory
Allan C Hutchinson, York University, Canada More than enough has been said about the HartFuller debate than can be considered healthy or productive, even within the precious world of jurisprudential scholarship – too much philosophising about how law has revelled in its own abstractness and narrowness� But the mission of this book is distinctly and determinedly different – it is not to rework these already-rehashed ideas, but to reject them entirely� Rather than add to the massive jurisprudential literature that has been generated by all and sundry, the book criticises and abandons the project that Hart and Fuller set in motion�

The Law between Objectivity and Power
Edited by Philip Maximilian Bender, MaxPlanck-Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance, Germany This volume examines the tension between objectivity and power and asks whether law is an instrument of power or a control on it? It takes a dual perspective, offering both a theoretical perspective and a practical one, which focuses on positive law� In addition, it is truly global in approach and shines an interdisciplinary light on the question� This is an innovative, fresh take on the relationship between law and power�
