About this book series
This series publishes innovative insights into the deep entanglement of philosophical arguments, public policy, and public and private legal norms, at domestic, international, and transnational levels.
The series is based on the assumptions that positive law is understood as codified public policy, and that policy is regarded as a fundamentally persuasive philosophical-moral argument. This stipulates that the laws and policies that govern a socio-political community ultimately rest on fundamental philosophical ideas about the conditions on which a society’s standards of order and justice are defined. Therefore, legal systems and public policies are not just empirical super-structures of positive rules, but philosophical-moral substructures that determine those rules and the way in which they are evaluated, sustained and changed.
The series encourages contributions that integrate the analysis of positive law with an understanding of public policymaking, philosophical substructures and ethical implications. It also publishes studies that integrate new methods, epistemologies and interdisciplinary perspectives, and applies them to policy and legal dilemmas. By doing so, the series seeks to produce a more three-dimensional understanding of the evolution, meaning, imperatives and future of the law.
The series welcomes proposals for monographs, edited volumes and short-form Pivots. All books in the series are subject to Palgrave's rigorous peer review process.
