The journal intends to be a conjuctive platform for discussing issues in legal theory, sociolegal studies and philosophy of law. In the beginning, the journal's specific focus will be on the research topics of the group's ongoing research project The Necessarily Contingent Law. The overall theme of this project is the legal construction of social reality, while the specific topics are the following: (1) the beginnings of the legal sociology, (2) the sociology of legal knowledge, (3) the cultural pluralism within and without the law, (4) the identity politics in law, (5) the philosophy of the ordinary language and the law, (6) the history of the positive law and of the positivistic conception of law, and (7) the formalism- realism-universalism debate in internationallaw andpolitics. Contributions dealing with these themes are especially welcomed. The first issue of No Foundations consists of the papers presented in the feminism workshop organised by the group in March 2005 for the legal philosopher Maria Drakopoulou. In addition, there is a closely-related text on EC law by Suvi Sankari. The next issue will consist mainly of the papers that will be presented in a workshop the group will organise for professor Roger Cotterrell in January 2006.
