Information on terrorism and refugee law has been fully updated, climate change is discussed throughout, and new chapters have been added on law and Indigenous people, lawyers ethics and corporate power.
The book considers the relationship between legal theory, social theory and empirical research methods, as a guide for students taking on higher degrees in legal research.
