Traversing the Trial-Law and Justice in a Globalizing World, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book details the temporal transformations in modernity as they have manifested in social structures and relationships. Globalization has created a new reality in the image of the new-age truth---the reality of pluralism which has transformed the way human relations have been organized. There has been a surge of new values and new ideas. All these have collectively formed a new consciousness. This book captures the said consciousness in its totality through its various manifestations in various domains on human socialization. The authors of the book provide broader generalizations on globalization, situating it through various standpoints, and particular analyses of how globalization has impacted particular domains. They have provided tales of resistance, adaptations, coexistences, and contestations. The major themes that will be addressed are: The rise and / or fall of social institutions; discovering global identities; global sensibilities: nihilism or hope?; cultural nostalgia and the yearning for the past; epistemological crisis in law: fragmentation, segmentation, and the loss of exclusivity. Additionally, the third section of the book is dedicated for author-meditations on SDGs. This type of a study is relevant, as time is ripe for a stocktaking---for globalization has set in as an endless evolution---of the human willing and acting in a globalizing word. It is its temporal lens, the way of looking at things, which makes this book contemporaneous.
