    Foundations, Recent Developments, and Future Perspectives

    Edited by Heiko Kleve, Tobias Koellner ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)

  • Methodologies of Legal Research

    Which Kind of Method for What Kind of Discipline?

    Edited by Professor Mark Van Hoecke ...
    Series series European Academy of Legal Theory Series
    Until quite recently questions about methodology in legal research have been largely confined to understanding the role of doctrinal research as a scholarly discipline.

Should it also be explanatory? Legal ... Read more

    by Niklas Luhmann ...
    Niklas Luhmann is recognised as a major social theorist, and his treatise on the sociology of law is a classic text.

  • Why Trust Matters

    An Economist's Guide to the Ties That Bind Us

    by Benjamin Ho ...
    Have economists neglected trust? The economy is fundamentally a network of relationships built on mutual expectations. More than that, trust is the glue that holds civilization together. Every time we interact with another person—to make a purchase, work on a project, or share a living space—we rely on trust. Institutions and relationships function because people place confidence in them. ... Read more
