![]() | Order without Law: How Neighbors Settle Disputes Subjects: Sociological jurisprudence; Dispute resolution (Law) -- California -- Shasta County; Compromise (Law) -- California -- Shasta County; Trespass -- California -- Shasta County; Cattle -- California -- Shasta County; Social control; In Order without Law , Robert Ellickson shows that law is far less important than is generally thought. He demonstrates that people largely govern themselves by means of informal rules--social norms--that develop without the aid of a state or other central coordinator. Integrating the latest scholarship in law, economics, sociology, game theory, and anthropology, Ellickson investigates the uncharted world within which order is successfully achieved without law. |
