This selection of classical and contemporary readings examines the national and international operation of legal systems, focusing on the relationship of law to the economy, class, political conflict, the state, and international relations.  These readings emphasize the transformations brought about by historical change and the contradictory dimensions of law in both advancing and blocking these transformations in accordance with the class interests expressed through legal forms.  Throughout, the book draws on major theoretical writings as well as case studies of particular situations in Third World countries and includes editorial introductions uniting the various selections.

<p>European Community law is firmly&nbsp;established&nbsp;as part of the law syllabus, yet as a subject of teaching and research in Britain it is barely fifteen years old. This unusual conjunction of accepted status and relative youth offers teachers and students of European Community law&nbsp;a great opportunity. Such is the possibility of exercising a potentially decisive influence on the development of European Community law, not only as an intellectually fascinating subject of study, but also as a significant element in the dominant ideologies and practices of the contemporary world. But how and where can we best devote our attention? In answering this question, we may choose to build or not on certain basic foundations. Two points are crucial, however, to the continued vitality of our common project: first, that we develop a more critical understanding of European Community law, and second, that we move in new directions.&nbsp;</p>
