2011 || Paperback || A.A. Seyed-Gohrab e.a. || Leiden University Press

This was a daring argument in the late 19th century, when it was extremely difficult to convince the rulers and religious class that a civil code of law was needed: would it not diminish...

Culturele en politieke omstandigheden sporen ons telkens opnieuw aan om de positie en reikwijdte van de discipline te blijven bepalen. Een van de belangrijkste kenmerken van onze tijd is de groeiende invloed van v...
