Concept

The workshop revolves around the following questions: What can law and the legal history of precolonial India and the Islamic world teach us about the transition to capitalism, the “great divergence” and/or modernity? And do the structures and processes of legal pluralism and unity in precolonial India shed light on the potentialities of capitalist development, industrialisation and/or modernity?
