Summary, etc. This book identifies and examines the "new relationship" emerging between the citizen and the state in the United States. Joel F. Handler takes a close look at citizen-agency relationships in terms of common themes in law, the sociology of organizations, and critical theory. Within the context of four empirical examples-informed consent in medicine, special education, community care for the frail, elderly poor, and water pollution regulation-he discusses the ways each treats the issues of power and quality of participation, along with the type of community (instrumental, sentimental, or strong) each creates.<br/><br/>Handler asserts that this "new rela tionship" between citizen and state is evi dent in a number of areas, including social Iwelfare and economic regulation, critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, and modern/postmodern ethics. He supports his argument by offering a critique of the orthodox theory of legal rights.<br/>Law and the Search for Community will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of law, ethics, and the social sciences.
