Jurisprudence: An International Journal of Legal and Political Thought provides a forum for scholarly writing on the philosophy of law. While demanding the utmost intellectual honesty, clarity and scholarly rigour, its editorial policy is distinctively open-minded in relation to philosophical approach. A main purpose of the journal is to encourage scholarship which explores and transcends the categories and assumptions on which contemporary jurisprudential debates are conducted, and to stimulate reflection upon traditional questions concerning the nature of law, politics and society.

The journal's unique reviews section will provide in-depth discussion and analysis of major developments in the field.

Jurisprudence aims:

to encourage research exploring the relation between questions in the philosophy of law and debates in related branches of philosophy, including but not limited to political philosophy, moral philosophy, the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of mind;
to support study of the intellectual history of the philosophy of law, both for its own sake and in order to shed light on contemporary jurisprudential questions;
to encourage careful research illuminating relations between jurisprudential questions and theoretical debates in anthropology, sociology, cultural and literary studies.

Law and Critique is the prime international critical legal theory journal. Established in 1990, the journal has been published for over 20 years and is associated with the Critical Legal Conference. Law and Critique covers all aspects of legal theory, jurisprudence and substantive law that are approached from a critical perspective. Law and Critique has introduced into legal scholarship a variety of schools of thought, such as postmodernism; feminism; queer theory; critical race theory; literary approaches to law; psychoanalysis; law and the humanities; law and aesthetics and post-colonialism. Postmodern jurisprudence, law and aesthetics and law and psychoanalysis were pioneered in Law and Critique which remains the most authoritative

source for these schools of thought. Law and Critique is keen to translate and incorporate non-English critical legal thought. More specifically, Law and Critique encourages the submission of articles in the areas of critical legal theory and history, law and literature, law and psychoanalysis, feminist legal theory, critical race theory, law and post-colonialism; postmodern jurisprudence, law and aesthetics; legal phenomenology; and law and autopoiesis. Past special issues include: 'Critical Legal Education'; 'The Gender of Law'; 'Law and Postmodernism'; 'Law and Literature'; 'Law and Post-colonialism', 'Law and Theatre'; 'Jean-Luc Nancy and Law'; 'Agamben and Law'.

Book Series

Law and Practical Reason

Publisher: Hart Publishing (Bloomsbury)

General Editor: George Pavlakos (Glasgow)

Advisory Board: Robert Alexy, Samantha Besson, Emilios Christodoulidis, Sean Coyle, Mattias Kumm, Stanley Paulson, Joseph Raz, Arthur Ripstein, Scott Shapiro, Victor Tadros.

The intention of this series is that it should encompass monographs and collections of essays that address the fundamental issues in legal philosophy. The foci are conceptual and normative in character, not empirical. Studies addressing the idea of law as a species of practical reason are especially welcome. Recognizing that there is no occasion sharply to distinguish analytic

and systematic work in the field from historico-critical research, the editors also welcome studies in the history of legal philosophy. Contributions to the series, inevitably crossing disciplinary lines, will be of interest to students and professionals in moral, political, and legal philosophy.

Cambridge Elements in the Philosophy of Law

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Editors: Kenneth Ehrenberg (Surrey), George Pavlakos (Glasgow), Gerald Postema (UNC Chapel Hill), Sally Zhu (Sheffield)

This Cambridge Element series provides an accessible overview of the philosophy of law, drawing on its varied intellectual traditions. The series recruits distinguished scholars from law and philosophy who showcase the interdisciplinary dimensions of jurisprudential enquiry, review the state of the art in the field, and suggest fresh research agendas for the future.

Focussing on issues rather than traditions or authors, the individual contributions seek to deepen our understanding of the foundations of the law, ultimately with a view to offering practical insights into some of the major challenges of our age. The series will appeal to students and scholars of legal, political and moral philosophy, ethics and meta-ethics, the philosophy of action, the philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, sociology, and the social sciences.

Critical Studies in Jurisprudence

Publisher: Routledge

Editors: Emilios Christodoulidis (Glasgow), Claudio Michelon (Edinburgh)

The Critical Studies in Jurisprudence Series provides a forum for interdisciplinary study in the philosophical, political and sociological traditions of thinking about the law. It is these linkages and intersections that the series sets out to chart and explore, in the tradition of research undertaken in the Law Schools of Edinburgh and Glasgow for over twenty years. The series covers a broad field that includes legal reasoning and the ethics of rule

following, public law and democratic theory, socio-legal studies and the sociology of punishment, crime, crime control and policing, the politics of transitional justice, as well as the sociology and anthropology of law. The Series places special emphasis on the function of law in its political dimension and with it, in the uses of critical legal theory, capturing something significant of the orientation and the priorities that animate research and teaching in both Law schools.

Law and Politics: Continental Perspectives

Publisher: Routledge

Editors: Mariano Croce (Sapienza), Marco Goldoni (Glasgow)

A core legacy of the Continental juridico-political tradition is the methodological commitment to the idea that law and politics are inextricably tied to one another. On the one hand, law has to be studied in the light of the concrete political dynamics, social forces, and societal movements that make law what it is. On the other hand, the analysis of political processes should be coupled with the study of the legal techniques through which politics exerts its effects on social reality.

The series aspires to promote works that use the nexus 'law & politics' as a prism that allows understanding societal dynamics beyond the deep-seated borders separating purely legal from purely

political methodologies. It welcomes theoretically informed and empirically grounded analyses that foster the development of theory in the study of juridico-political processes.

This interdisciplinary series welcomes monographs and edited volumes that engage with the conceptual and empirical questions and discussions of how the contamination of jurisprudential and theoretical-political approaches helps illuminate current national and global processes.
