GlassHouse was launched in 2002, and is now part of the Routledge-Cavendish imprint. With more than sixty books already published, and over sixty more currently planned for 2008 and 2009, GlassHouse has already established itself as the leading publisher of texts in the areas of socio-legal studies and critical legal theory.

GlassHouse specialises in books that offer a fresh perspective on law and contemporary legal issues. Our aim is to publish books that re-think conventional approaches to law, and that address new objects or subjects of legal enquiry. Books that are innovative as well as scholarly, and that inspire and provoke as well as inform. Books with a critical edge. And, particularly, books that draw upon the insights and frameworks of other disciplines: sociology, politics or philosophy; but also other social science and humanities disciplines, such as cultural studies, geography, economics, social policy, history and literature.

GlassHouse takes a pro-active stance in relation to its publishing programme. We seek advice from academics, researchers and students about new themes in legal research and new developments in the law curriculum. Our publishing programme is informed by this advice, and pursued in response to submitted book proposals, through the more focused development of book series, and the commissioning of monographs and collections on specific subjects.

In addition to individual titles, GlassHouse currently publishes six book series:

• Critical Approaches to Law
• Contemporary Issues in Public Policy, edited by David Downes (Social Policy Department, London School of Economics) and Paul Rock (Sociology Department, London School of Economics)
• Nomikoi: Critical Legal Thinkers, edited by Peter Goodrich (Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law) and David Seymour (Lancaster University Law School)
• Law, Science and Society, edited by John Paterson (School of Law, University of Aberdeen) and Julian Webb (School of Law, University of Warwick).
• Discourses of Law, edited by edited by Peter Goodrich, Arthur Jacobson and Michel Rosenfeld (Cardozo School of Law, USA)
• Law, Development and Globalization, edited by Julio Faundez (University of Warwick, UK)
  

GlassHouse is building up a list of highly respected authors, but we also wish to encourage others, who may be nearer to the beginning of their careers. Offering prospective authors informed editorial support, high production values and effective marketing and publicity, we welcome informal suggestions and/or formal proposals for monographs or for edited collections.
