Beskrivning
In 1956, ICJ judge Philip Jessup highlighted the gaps between private and public international law and the need to adapt the law to border-crossing problems. Today, sixty years later, we still ask what role transnational law can play in a deeply divided, post-colonial world, where multinationals hold more power and more assets than many nation states. In searching for suitable answers to pressing legal problems such as climate change law, security, poverty and inequality, questions of representation, enforcement, accountability and legitimacy become newly entangled. As public and private, domestic and international actors compete for regulatory authority, spaces for political legitimacy have become fragmented and the state's exclusivist claim to be law's harbinger and place of origin under attack. Against this background, transnational law emerges as a conceptual framework and method laboratory for a critical reflection on the forms, fora and processes of law making and law contestation today.

Recensioner i media

'This volume brings together leading international scholars - from various mainstream as well as critical and interdisciplinary perspectives - to explore the historical and contemporary normative frameworks, public and private actors, and contested power relations in the ever-expanding field of transnational law. Drawing upon the ground-breaking contributions of Philip Jessup in the wake of WWII, the volume points to the innovations of current scholarship that analyze transborder legal processes as collective and discursive practice. Since many aspects of transnational law are largely unregulated by state governments, the volume rightly asks to what degree does transnational law contribute to today's crises of democratic governance? Given what is at stake, the volume is essential reading for scholars and practitioners grappling with the increasing complexities of transnational legal formations in the twenty-first century.' Eve Darian-Smith, University of California, Irvine
