Bristol Studies in Law and Social Justice
Series Editors: Alan Bogg, University of Bristol, UK and Virginia Mantouvalou, University College London, UK
Bristol Studies in Law and Social Justice explores the role of law in securing social justice in society and the economy. The focus is on ‘social justice’ as a normative ideal, and the law as a critical tool in influencing (for good or for ill) the social structures that shape people’s lives. This international series is designed to be inclusive of a wide range of methodologies and disciplinary approaches. Contributions examine these issues from multiple legal perspectives, including constitutional law, discrimination law, human rights, contract law, criminal law, migration law, labour law, social welfare law, property law, international and supranational law.
The series has a broad jurisdictional coverage, including single-country and comparative studies, as well as studies in international law.
