Legal Pluralism in Action

This book contributes to, and refocuses, public debates about the incorporation of plural approaches into the English legal system by examining a secular method of dispute resolution practised by the Kurdish Peace Committee in London. The pluralistic approach is seen by Kurdish communities in the UK as widely applicable elsewhere, and in a possible future Kurdish state, as a practical solution to the challenges of a pluralistic life. The book provides a substantive evidence base, using extensive ethnographic data, and examines detailed case studies in the context of the customs and practices of the Kurdish community.
