Anthropology of Law - ANTH330

This unit on justice and development brings to life the ways in which the institutions and interactions of human society shape regulations and laws. It invites the students to learn more about the dominant themes in legal anthropology and justice studies, and also engage in debates about the importance of these studies to development and our understanding of the state and sovereignty. This unit provides an opportunity to learn about a field of inquiry that has long lacked a sophisticated approach to its applicability in the practices of development at both the level of civil society and the state.
