Sonja Buckel, Ph.D. (1969), Kassel University, is Professor of Political Theory and chair of the Association for Critical Social Research (AkG). She is a lawyer and political scientist and has published on legal theory, European migration policy and critical social theory.

On the basis of a reconstruction of legal theory in the tradition of Marx, which has been more or less silenced since the end of the 1970s, Subjectivation and Cohesion develops a critical counter-pole to the dominant approaches to law in contemporary social theory.
