In an ever changing world of diversity, the system of law and its theory should not

only accommodate but also allow for the peaceful development. It cannot be based on

imposing one system’s preferences over the other but based on those methods of

research and practices that are commonly available to all, irrespective of their cultural

diversity. A description of the idea of law is not the same thing as description of how

this idea evolves in social reality.

This course is a probe into the reasons of the essential evolution of law and notions of

justice according to the changing social reality of the vibrant globalised world. The

volatility in social world reality creates deviations within the idea of law and justice.

Political, economic and social changes that globalisation creates, sometimes disturbs

the traditional norms of law. This course focuses on how this reflects on the notions of

law and justice in a globalised world and shall use the thoughts of legal thinkers to

trigger our own thinking process to address the present day dilemmas. Above all, the

course integrates the post-graduate legal education in Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth
