"This book traces the emergence and transformations of asbestos compensation to explore
the wider issue of to what extent legal systems have converged in the era of globalization.
Examining the mechanism by which asbestos compensation is delivered in Belgium, England,
Italy and the United States, as well as the cultural forces and actors which contribute
to its emergence and transformations, the book advances our understanding of how law
operates within cultural norms, routines, and institutional relations of capitalist
societies. With material gathered from 50 interviews and from primary and secondary
sources, the author considers law as a cultural phenomenon, national styles of legal
culture and the convergence and divergence of legal cultures, and law as a form of
institutionalized power"--Provided by publisher
