  • More about The Future of Governance: A Radical Introduction to Law


The book offers a radically different introduction to law, highlighting four radical and revisionist ideas: bringing modern technologies into the foreground, presenting law as one mode of governance, thinking outside the traditional doctrinal box, and emphasising the importance of good governance for human communities. It challenges lawyers to contribute to thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the newest technology without compromising the essential conditions for human life and co-existence.

Law has traditionally been focused on historic principles and rules, with courts, judges, and disputes playing a central role in the legal enterprise. However, with the rapid technological developments of our time, a new approach is needed. This book offers a radically different introduction to law, highlighting four radical and revisionist ideas: bringing modern technologies into the foreground, presenting law as one particular mode of governance in a larger picture of governance that now includes technological modalities, insisting that we have to think outside the traditional doctrinal box to engage with a broad range of governance questions, and emphasising that human communities cannot flourish without good governance to which both lawyers and law are central. These four radical threads are woven into a discussion of the modern landscape of law, offering a distinctly contemporary contribution to the quest for good governance. The challenge for lawyers now is to contribute to thinking, both locally and globally, about how we take advantage of the opportunities presented by the newest technology without compromising the essential conditions for human life and co-existence and without losing what we value in laws governance. This book is aimed at students studying law at university and legal academics, as well as others interested in the current and future impact of technology on law.
