Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice
About the Book Series
Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice seeks to publish leading monographs and edited collections that explore the interplay between rights and justice across different areas of law and legal practice. The series serves as a home for scholars working in areas such as human rights, social justice, constitutional justice, business and human rights, equality rights and civil justice. It encourages authors to address the theoretical and practical aspects of the application of rights, the achievability of justice in these uncertain times, and the methods available to individuals, organisations, and states to achieve justice. Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice embraces both scholarship from a national and international viewpoint and encourages authors to explore rights and justice from a global perspective. It strives to break down existing disciplinary silos and encourage collaboration, which offers the opportunity to publish thought provoking, original and cutting-edge work. The aim is to foster debates, build bridges between different areas of scholarship, and encourage a wider perspective on the underlying issues that might limit the applicability of rights, or render justice difficult to achieve.
Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice primarily consider rights and justice from a legal perspective, but does however, welcome submissions that take a broader view and engage with the wider socio-economic, political, and social context. The series editor is very keen to consider works by established and early-career academics, and submissions are encouraged from scholars based all around the world.
