Place: Servatiiplatz 9, Münster (Germany)
Time: 27.05.2025 - 28.05.2025

The workshop revolves around the following questions: What can law and
the legal history of precolonial India and the Islamic world teach us
about the transition to capitalism, the “great divergence” and/or
modernity? And do the structures and processes of legal pluralism and
unity in precolonial India shed light on the potentialities of
capitalist development, industrialisation and/or modernity?
