Summary

The Conclusion summarizes and discusses the book’s three main contributions to the law and society literature. These contributions include providing a new perspective into the paradoxical effects of law on daily survival, bringing the notion of precarity into a sharper focus in studies of disadvantaged and marginalized citizens, and providing a critical view of law in regimes governed by authoritarian or dictatorial rule. The Conclusion suggests that people’s struggles against precarity and the aftereffects of their behavior are shaped by the following factors: The (mis)match between law and other sets of values and understandings of justice, legal ambiguity and the prevalence of informal processes and practices, and the regulatory and normative role of the state. The book ends with a critical review of the literature on legal precarity, and a discussion of the benefits that the sociolegal perspective will offer to the broader research agenda on global precarity.
