Legal Form

A century after the publication of Evgeny Pashukanis’ pivotal book General Theory of Law and Marxism , this collection presents a comprehensive account and analysis of his key concept of legal form. Evgeny Pashukanis’ General Theory , born amidst the fervour of the first socialist revolution, remains still a crucial reference point in Marxist theories of the law and critical legal theory. Its theoretical depth paved the way for new understandings of the relationship between Marxism and the law.
