About the Authors

Analytical jurisprudence often proceeds with two key assumptions: that all law is either contained in or traceable back to an authorizing law-state, and that states are stable and in full control of the borders of their legal systems. What would a general theory of law be like and do if these long-standing presumptions were loosened? The Unsteady State aims to assess the possibilities by enacting a relational approach to explanation of law, exploring law's relations to the environment, security, and technology. The account provided here offers a rich and renewed perspective on the preconditions and continuity of legal order in systemic and non-systemic forms, and further supports the view that the state remains prominent yet is now less dominant in the normative lives of norm-subjects and as an object of legal theory.
- Develops an account of general jurisprudence not restricted to state contexts, and will appeal to those who wish to understand law across several geographical and non-geographical levels
- Proposes a view of analytical jurisprudence which is appropriately responsive to new phenomena, and will be of interest to students and academics in philosophy as well as those in empirical legal studies
- Combines theoretical investigation of law with sustained attention to real examples, demonstrating to readers a way in which abstract philosophy of law can be applied in practice
