The Onati International Series in Law and Society publishes volumes of original research and theory on the relations between law, legal institutions and social processes. Contributions to the volumes are eclectic in their disciplines, methodologies and theoretical perspectives, but they all share a strong comparative emphasis. The volumes originate in workshops hosted by the Onati International Institute for the Sociology of Law.
