Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project is an attempt to elaborate Professor Roberto Unger's institutionalist approach to Critical Legal Studies and to encourage its collaborative work with other progressive tendencies in contemporary legal thought such as Disability Legal Studies, Democratic Experimentalism and others. It argues that Unger's Critical Legal Studies is the most transformative approach to law and society but at the same time Ungerian larger project has to learn more concrete and feasible insights from those "grassroots" or "civil society" oriented socio-legal studies. What we need today is not fights among/against the schools of legal thought but collaborative fights of a variety of schools against the larger social structure itself.
