Legal regimes and politics

A focus on law and politics across legal regimes and institutions, jurisdictions, personnel, and issue areas. We examine conceptions of the law, evolution of legal regimes, legal pluralism and the interaction of legal regimes, the interplay between courts, political institutions and the public, the role of law in norm generation and internalization, and as a mechanism of change, control, and legitimation in Canada, other democracies, authoritarian and hybrid regimes, and internationally.
