Martin Krygier: is Gordon Samuels Professor of Law and Social Theory, UNSW. He
writes often on the rule of law. He is particularly interested in attempts to
generate it in inauspicious conditions, and their implications for our
understanding of the rule of law, its conditions and its consequences. One
focus of his research has been post-communist Europe. He was co-editor of: The
Rule of Law after Communism (1999), Rethinking the Rule of Law after Communism
(2005), and Spreading Democracy and the Rule of Law? (2006), and guest editor
of the special issue of the Hague Journal on the Rule of Law (vol. 1, no.2,
2009), on ‘the fall of European Communism: 20 Years After.’
Gary Wickham: is Professor of Sociology at Murdoch University in Western
Australia. His books include Foucault and Law (co-authored with Alan Hunt,
1994) and Using Foucault’s Methods (co-authored with Gavin Kendall, 1999), both
of which have recently been translated into Japanese, and Rethinking Law,
Society and Governance: Foucault’s Bequest (co-edited with George Pavlich,
2001). His recent articles on law have appeared in the Journal of Law and
Society, the Griffith Law Review, and Law, Text, Culture. His current research
focuses on the way in which each of society, law, politics, and culture (along
with other elements, such as morality, reason, sovereignty, state, and
religion) has been and continues to be understood within the social sciences
and humanities academy, and with the development of arguments about how they
might be better understood. This line of inquiry has seen him adopt a more
critical tone towards Foucault and develop a special interest in a number of
early modern thinkers, especially Thomas Hobbes.
