Review of: Halliday Terence, Karpik Lucien, and Feeley Malcolm (2007) Fighting for Political Freedom: Comparative Studies of the Legal Complex for Political Liberalism. Hart Publishing: Oñati.

Resumen

During the 1990s Terence Halliday and Lucien Karpik launched a project on the role of lawyers in the "rise of western political liberalism". In the intervening years, Malcolm Feeley has been added to its directorate and the project has become much more ambitious - increasingly well theorized and ever more global in its reach. The result is Fighting for Political Freedom: Comparative Studies of the Legal Complex for Political Liberalism, an outstanding collection of essays written expressly for this volume and nurtured by conferences at which initial drafts were presented, critiqued, and revised.
