On the History of Law and Order - Professor Fernanda Pirie (Oxford)

In this episode, we discuss the distinct concept of the rule of laws, the relationship between law, certainty and power, and how the expansion of legal frameworks can be far from the linear evolution that we expect.Fernanda Pirie is a Professor of the Anthropology of Law at Oxford University's Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, where she publishes on legal anthropology and Tibetan legal history, as well as related issues, such as comparison in law and anthropology and the relationship between empirical studies and legal theory.Massive thanks to Professor Pirie for her time and engagement - we loved the discussion and her new book, 'The Rule of Laws: a 4,000-year quest to order the world' (Profile Books, 2021), which you can find here: https://profilebooks.com/work/the-rule-of-laws/If you like what we do, you can buy us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/justtheory.
