Grundbegriffe der Rechts- und Staatssoziologie

How does the law take part in the development of communities? And to what extent is it a product of social conditions? Reinhold Zippelius explores these core issues in the sociology of law and their basic principles. He describes the major subjects and thinkers pertaining to these issues in a concept which is easy to follow, and most of the authors he mentions are also given the opportunity to have their say. The author's own ideas are however expressed clearly in the selection, comparison and annotation of the opinions presented.
