ABSTRACT

What is the relationship between law and government? How does law evolve, and how does government evolve? What are some of the influences upon this relationship? These are extremely broad questions which have taxed theorists in a number of academic disciplines, and across jurisdictions – as well as politicians and others more directly concerned with the application of theory to practice – for many centuries. This Chapter will not presume to attempt to directly answer these questions, but will consider some aspects of the relationship, particularly as it affects law, business and technology.
