%0 Journal Article %T Reconceptualizing Law and Politics in the Transnational: Constitutional and Legal Pluralist Approaches %A Ruth Buchanan %J Socio-Legal Review %D 2010 %I National Law School of India University %X Despite the apparent fluidity that characterizes this historical moment as well as this moment in legal scholarship, this paper argues that there is also an enduring rigidity that is found in the persistence of a modernist conception of law.
