Law and Political Economy
Tue, August 11, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
The relationship between the state and the economy is a core area of sociological inquiry. Law and legal institutions are primary mechanisms states use to construct markets, achieve policy goals, and distribute resources. This session features scholars connecting the law’s role in co-constructing states and markets to other core areas of sociological inquiry, including (but not limited to) inequality, stratification, race, gender, family, labor, and migration. Submissions can engage with these issues from various theoretical, empirical or methodological perspectives, and address implications at local, national, or global levels.
