Symposium on Emilios Christodoulidis, The Redress of Law: Globalisation, Constitutionalism, and Market Capture (CUP, 2021) - Centre of Law and Humanities, Birkbeck

The Redress of Law is a profound work of legal and constitutional theory. Radically pushing the limits of notions such as political and market constitutionalism, Christodoulidis develops a critical phenomenology for rethinking the nature of the political, social, work, ethics, and strategies for disrupting global market capture. Along the way, the book provides erudite discussion of the work of Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, Karl Marx, and Niklas Luhmann. Inspired by the poet Seamus Heaney, ‘redress’ is conceived of as a ‘glimpsed alternative’; and with Weil, justice is re-imagined as a counterweight to the prevailing domination of political communities by market rationalities.
The Redress of Law will be a text that informs legal and political theorisation for a generation or more. Tracing these potentialities will be scholars who in their own work have engaged with the limits and possibilities of constitutionalism, the international market, reflexivity in law and politics, techniques and of power and governance, and the ubiquity of violence in constitutional and legal forms.
