S-Animals, Politics & the Law
Animals, Politics & the Law will provide an overview of public policy regarding the often complicated relationship between humans and non-human animals, with coverage of how relevant policy came into being, and how social change occurs. Areas of major coverage will include the various ways that non-human animals are viewed by members of society, the capacities of non-human animals, legal theories that address the status and (at times species specific) standing of non-human animals, and political initiatives that address non-human animals through legislative and regulatory means.
