This book addresses the question of why governments sometimes follow the law and other times choose to evade the law. The traditional answer of jurists has been that laws have an autonomous causal efficacy: law rules when actions follow anterior norms; the relation between laws and actions is one of obedience, obligation, or compliance. Contrary to this conception, the authors defend a positive interpretation where the rule of law results from the strategic choices of relevant actors. Rule of law is just one possible outcome in which political actors process their conflicts using whatever resources they can muster: only when these actors seek to resolve their conflicts by recourse to la, does law rule. What distinguishes 'rule-of-law' as an institutional equilibrium from 'rule-by-law' is the distribution of power. The former emerges when no one group is strong enough to dominate the others and when the many use institutions to promote their interest.

This volume brings together a set of novel approaches to the governance of security. In the age of postnational terrorism and post 9/11 surveillance societies traditional perspectives seem to miss the point. On the one hand, normative theories like that of Beccaria require serious re-construction to still provide normative guidance as to the role and the limits of the criminal law. On the other hand, notions like that of risk-assessment run into problems when applied to the complexities of local safety issues that are enmeshed in global developments. Picking up on Johnston & Shearing's concept of 'nodal governance' and Ulrich Beck's call for a more contextual approach to risk and its remedies, the authors of this volume share their analyses of issues of safety and justice at the theoretical, institutional and empirical level without resorting to overly general approaches, grand theories or reductive quantitative models. In doing this they carefully explore the tensions between new models of crime control and the normative underpinnings of the Rule of Law.
