Book review "Jiří Přibáň, Research Handbook on the Sociology of Law, Cheltenham, Edward Elgar, 2020".

Review of the Research Handbook on the Sociology of Law (2020) edited by Jiří Přibáň, commenting on the choice of topics, the representativeness of scholarship for an international readership and the content of articles.
"The contributions to this handbook suggest that systems theory and here especially ideas connected to the names of Niklas Luhmann and Gunther Teubner have influenced parts of sociology of law in the United Kingdom. Eugen Ehrlich’s concepts are also frequently employed, as are Emile Durkheims, something that is probably representative for sociology of law wherever one looks. The same goes for Karl Marx. Of the English sociologists of law, Roger Cotterrell is referenced most often. The second volume, announced to be more international in scope, may identify a wider range of scholars and theoretical approaches of particular influence.
There will hardly be a sociologist of law, whether from the British Isles or not, with a disciplinary background in law or in a social science, who will not gain insights from this Research Handbook on the Sociology of Law."
