THE PLACE OF LAW: THE ROLE AND LIMITS OF LAW IN SOCIETY

Book ID/图书代码： 13149011B48831

English Summary/英文概要： The Place of Law addresses two questions that are critical to understanding law. Why is law an evidently universal, enduring institution in modern societies? And why do the concepts and doctrines of law differ between jurisdictions (states or nations) at one point in time and vary within a jurisdiction over time? In this stimulating volume, Barnett suggests answers to these questions, and in doing so, he challenges popular assumptions regarding law in structurally complex, technologically advanced, democratic societies. In particular, Barnett questions the assumption that social behaviors central to such societies are effectively controlled by law and the assumption that individuals are responsible for the doctrines and concepts of law. Instead, he contends, law on society-important behaviors is due to society-level forces and reflects rather than shapes these behaviors.

The macrosociological framework for law Barnett proposes is important because it is concerned with activities that are fundamental aspects of social organization, and even though it conflicts with established beliefs about law, the framework cannot be simply dismissed since it is grounded on a substantial body of quantitative research. The innovative approach to law in the book thus offers scholars and students a fresh perspective on the role of law in modern societies.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《法律的地位》解决了理解法律的两个重要问题。为什么法律，在现代社会中的一个普遍持久的惯例？法的理念和条款，为什么不同的司法管辖区（州或国家）之间司法权不同，随着时间推移同一司法权的管辖范围也会不同？在这本令人鼓舞的书中，巴尼特给这些问题提出了建议。他挑战了结构复杂，技术先进，民主的社会对法律的一般假设。如此社会中人的社会行为，被法律有效地控制，个人对法律条款和理念负责，这种假设，巴尼特尤其质疑。相反，他声称，重要的社会行为的法律规范是社会力量所致，它反映而不是塑造这些行为。

巴尼特倡导法律的宏观社会学框架是非常重要的，因为它关注社会组织的基本方面的活动，即使它与已建立的法律和信仰相冲突，这个框架不能简单地摒弃，因为它是基于大量的定量研究。本书这种对法的创新方法，为学者和学生提供了理解现代社会法律作用的新视角。(兼职翻译-LNL)
