1 Social & Legal Studies 5 (1992)

handle is hein.journals/solestu1 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL Social & Legal Studies is a new venture in the field of sociology of law, critical legal studies and critical criminology which arises out of an established commitment to analytical scholarship which is accessible, challenging and able to formulate and shape the current debates in this terrain of intellectual work. The Journal brings together a team of people who formerly collaborated to produce The International Journal of the Sociology of Law but who, together with some new members, have decided it is time to give a greater vibrancy to the production of critical knowledge in this increasingly important field. Social & Legal Studies has four main aims: * the publication of committed critical scholarship, 0 the promotion of non-Western perspectives on law, regulation and criminology, * the integration of feminist analyses at every level of scholarship, * the advancement of accessible theoretical approaches which enhance analysis and explanation rather than providing description or reports. Our commitment to a theoretical orientation should not be interpreted as indicating that certain theoretical perspectives will be given priority over others. On the contrary, we wish to promote debate between perspectives and to provide critical appraisal rather than reiteration or rehearsal of specific lines of argument. Neither does this commitment mean that papers based on empirical studies will be unwelcome. Yet we urge all contributors to present their substantive work analytically, and in such a way that it will have international relevance rather than parochial interest. Social & Legal Studies seeks to promote a greater knowledge and understand- ing of work being carried out in developing countries, Eastern Europe and the less academically dominant Western countries. We are of the firm belief that exciting and innovating work is being produced yet remains at risk of invisibility on the international scene, leaving dominant Western traditions and perspectives unmoved by their potential challenge. Our commitment to feminist work also SOCIAL & LEGAL STUDIES (SAGE, London, Newbury Park and New Delhi), Vol. 1 (1992), 5-6
