LSD: Law, State, Democracy

Law, State, Democracy (LSD) is a research project seeking to promote an interdisciplinary approach to questions of law, state and democracy among jurists, the social sciences, philosophy, literature and social theory. Our aim is to shed new light on the interdependence, and indeed fundamental co-construction of law and democracy in promoting just and effective modes of government.

In collaboration with the Center for Transcultural Studies, a global intellectual network with an institutional base in Chicago

Partially funded by a grant from Mastercard Foundation
