‘Alex Jeffrey and Sarah Klosterkamp have compiled an empirically and conceptually rich set of essays on the dynamics of law, society, and space. With case studies covering property, housing, migration, international law, interpersonal violence, and the environment, the Research Handbook demonstrates how legal and regulatory structures shape our relationships to places, to other people, and to the non-human. This book is an immensely valuable resource for geographers and legal scholars.’
