From ‘What?’ to ‘So What?’: Law and Geography in Retrospect

Abstract

Because there is little literature about how law and space may be related, this has led to the notion that these two concepts should be separate from each other. However, there have been some notions that demonstrate how law is concerned with space and geography. Also, this chapter realises that both respects have embraced the notion of hybridity since law may be integrated with history, literature, economics, and other such aspects while geography has already been able to generate certain subdisciplinary fields. This chapter attempts to explain how law and geography may together create a novel discipline since such may be derived from various intellectual blockages such as how law and space are distinguished from what we commonly refer to as ‘society’. As the chapter attempts to establish a validity for this field, the text also looks into certain insights that can be attained from thought that may also go beyond the law/space binary.
