By situating individuals within relational interactions and centering “relationality” as a key lens for describing, understanding, interpreting, and governing society, the relational law provides a theoretical framework and methodological toolkit for reimagining the principles of order in Asia. It also holds significant implications for advancing socio-legal studies. To this end, the Asian Journal of Law and Society plans to curate a special issue themed“Relational Turn in Law: Practices and Implications in Asia” and hereby invites submissions.
To support the next generation ofsocio-legal scholars studying topics related to Asia, the Asian Journal of Lawand Society (AsianJLS) and the Asian Law and Society Association (ALSA) havejointly established an annual competition for the best paper in the field oflaw and society written by a graduate student.
