Description of  The Daunting Enterprise of the Law: Essays in Honour of Harry W. Arthurs

Professor emeritus at Osgoode Hall Law School and former president of Torontos York University, Harry W. Arthurs is one of the worlds most widely respected scholars, educators, and policy makers. His enormous academic and institutional productivity has extended to administrative and labour law, legal pluralism and legal theory, and legal education. Bringing together scholars of law, history, and political economy, The Daunting Enterprise of the Law applies the framework of Arthurss extraordinary scholarship to a series of themes running through current legal, economic, and political thought. Contributors from around the globe engage with Arthurss work in several fields and sub-fields and consider the past and future of industrial democracy, globalization, labour law, legal education, and legal theory in the twenty-first century. Through the process of surveying, evaluating, and reflecting upon Arthurss ideas and intellectual contributions, they further advance the readers understanding of labour law and industrial relations. Remarkable in breadth and scope, The Daunting Enterprise of Law is both a celebration of Arthurss institutional achievements and policy leadership and an important contribution to contemporary scholarship.
