The blurring lines of law and society

Roy Abhik Guha

Abstract

In a global system in which economic liberalism reigns supreme, law can only become an instrument to facilitate trade, as the internationalisation of intellectual property rights shows. The legal system is increasingly used in the service of dominant business interests at the expense of true social justice. Will this evolution of legal concepts lead to a worldwide revolt against the contemporary notion of law?
