Reviews

`Review from previous edition The editors have assembled an extremely impressive list of scholars from law and political science-a veritable who's who in the field-and have produced a volume that defines an ambitious agenda for the study of law and politics for the next generation. ' John Ferejohn, Carolyn S. G. Munro Professor of Political Science, Stanford University. `The Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics provides an invaluable guide to the inter-relationship between these two disciplines. It brings together in a well-organized and systematic manner the rich literature on the various aspects of this subject. All lawyers interested in the relationship between law and politics will want to have a copy of this book in their collection. ' Paul Craig, Professor of English Law and Fellow of St John's College, University of Oxford. `Spanning all of the major substantive areas and approaches in modern political science, this blockbuster set is a must-have for scholars and students alike. Each volume is crafted by a distinguished set of editors who have assembled critical, comprehensive, essays to survey accumulated knowledge and emerging issues in the study of politics. These volumes will help to shape the discipline for many years to come.' Theda Skocpol, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology, Harvard University.


The editors have assembled an extremely impressive list of scholars from law and political science - a veritable who's who in the field - and have produced a volume that defines an ambitious agenda for the study of law and politics for the next generation. John Ferejohn, Carolyn S. G. Munro Professor of Political Science, Stanford University I strongly recommend purchasing The Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics ... The essays the editors have assassed not only review a solid base of knowledge but they also identify new puzzles to pursue and possibilities for collaboration ... For me, the bottom line is this. I am more excited about our field than I was before reading the handbook. I am anxious to get back to work on the problems the handbook addresses. I would strongly recommend purchasing it and using it in your classes. I surely will. Jeffrey K. Staton, Emory University, in Law and Politics Book Review
