Publisher's Synopsis
Revolutions, Institutions, Law brings together scholars representing a wide range of academic disciplines to examine and discuss the role of law as mediator between social revolutions of all kinds and ideally stable social institutions. Semiotics is the point of view and referent theory that binds contributors into common focus on this triadic, dynamic interplay. From this perspective law-as-mediator is transformed no less than the forces of revolution on the one hand, and the forces of institutional stability on the other hand.
