'The question of how governance works in the contemporary, globalized world is of pressing importance. This fascinating collection addresses the contradictory and overlapping nature of governance from the perspective of legal pluralism and anthropological theory. The book provides great insight into the forms of order and disorder now roiling the world.' Sally Engle Merry, New York University, USA '...offers the sophisticated and serious student further insight into the complex, multi-dimensional relationship that exists between state and non-state actors, law and governance, violence and order.' The Law and Politics Book Review
