Cultural Conflicts, Annelise Riles
Cultural Conflicts, Annelise Riles
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This article builds upon insights from contemporary anthropology to rethink the field of conflicts as a matter of cultural conflict. This approach shifts the analysis away from the dominant approaches in the discipline, which take as their primary metric either questions of state power or of individual rights. Drawing on a case of conflict between Native American legal norms and U.S. state and federal law, this article argues for a conflicts methodology that takes seriously the role of cultural description in the process of cultural adjudication.

The present research examines a particular country and a single trade agreement, Peru and the trade agreement between Peru and the United States. …
