International Journal of Legal Affairs and Exploration & Juris Cognita Publications are accepting Abstracts for a book on Law Beyond Boundaries-Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Technology, Business Governance and Society, Submit Abstracts By: 15th October, 2026. No publication fees.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The contemporary world is characterised by rapid social, economic, institutional and technological transformation. Developments in technology, globalization, business, governance, public policy and social structures are increasingly interconnected, creating complex challenges that cannot be adequately understood through the lens of a single discipline. Law, in this evolving landscape, is no longer confined to the traditional boundaries of legislation, courts and legal institutions; it increasingly interacts with economics, business, technology, governance, sociology, public policy, human rights, environmental studies and other fields of knowledge.

Law Beyond Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Technology, Business, Governance and Society seeks to explore these evolving intersections and examine how law responds to, regulates and contributes to contemporary processes of transformation. The book brings together diverse scholarly perspectives to understand law not merely as a system of rules, but as an instrument of governance, social transformation, economic development, institutional accountability and public welfare.
