Living without law

"In recent years there has been a rise in interest in non-conflictual forms of dispute resolution and non-state systems of law. This book builds upon this interest by studying law from a new perspective using traditional studies in legal anthropology whilst at the same time being a study of a complex society. It will be of interest to those studying law and society, the sociology of law and legal systems as well as those whose primary interest is in alternative dispute resolution."--Jacket.
