Focusing on colonial legal politics and the interrelation of local cultural contests and institutional change, it uses case studies to trace a shift in plural legal orders--from the multicentric law of early empires to the state-centered law of the colonial and postcolonial world. Benton shows how Indigenous subjects across time were active in making, changing, and interpreting the law--and, by extension, in shaping the international order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45115256340631,"sku":"9780521009263","price":3225.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521009263.webp?v=1767270538","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/law-and-colonial-cultures-legal-regimes-in-world-history-1400-1900-9780521009263","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
