Private law has long been the focus of efforts to explain wider developments of law in an era of globalisation. As consumer transactions and corporate activities continue to develop with scant regard to legal and national boundaries, private law theorists have begun to sketch and conceptualise the possible architecture of a transnational legal theory. Drawing a detailed map of the mixed regulatory landscape of 'hard' and 'soft' laws, official, unofficial, direct and indirect modes of regulation, rules, recommendations and principles as well as exploring the concept of governance through disclosure and transparency, this book develops a theoretical framework of transnational legal regulation. Rough Consensus and Running Code describes and analyses different law-making regimes currently observable in the transnational arena. Its core aim is to reassess the transnational regulation of consumer contracts and corporate governance in light of a dramatic proliferation of rule-creators and compliance mechanisms that can no longer be clearly associated with either the 'state' or the 'market'.The chosen examples from two of the most dynamic legal fields in the transnational arena today serve as backdrops for a comprehensive legal theoretical inquiry into the changing institutional and normative landscape of legal norm-creation.

Law and economics has arguably become one of the most influential theories in contemporary legal theory and adjudication. The essays in this volume, authored by both legal scholars and economists, constitute lively and critical engagements between law and economics and new institutional economics from the perspectives of legal and evolutionary theory. The result is a fresh look at core concepts in law and economics - such as 'institutions', 'institutional change' and 'market failure' - that offer new perspectives on the relationship between economic and legal governance. The increasingly transnational dimension of regulatory governance presents lawyers, economists and social scientists with an unprecedented number of complex analytical and conceptual questions. The contributions to this volume engage with legal theory, new institutional economics, economic sociology and evolutionary economics in an interdisciplinary assessment of the capacities and limits of the state, markets and institutions. Drawing as well upon legal sociology and the philosophy of law, the authors expand and transform the known terrain of 'law and economics' by applying evolutionary theory to both law and economics from a domestic and transnational perspective. Legal scholars, evolutionary and regulatory theorists, economists, economic sociologists, economic historians and political scientists will find this cutting-edge volume both challenging and engaging.Contributors: M.

The law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations in cross-border civil and commercial matters in the European Union (EU) is the remit of the so-called Rome I and II Regulations that entered into force in 2009, supplemented by the Rome III Regulation of 2012 dealing specifically with divorce and legal separation. This article-by-article commentary – now updated to its third edition – has become a cornerstone resource in handling European cases involving conflict of laws.

The occasion for publishing a third edition is that several landmark judgments on the conflict of laws have been recently rendered both by the Court of Justice of the EU and by domestic courts. Moreover, with Brexit, one of the largest European states will enter into a new form of relationship with the EU, which will specifically impact the conflict of laws. The effects of these major developments are reflected throughout the new edition’s extensively revised article-by-article commentary.

The commentary, authored by leading scholars of conflict of laws and drawing on a wide spectrum of case law and scholarship, highlights, among much else, such long-term implications of the Rome Regulations as the following:

principles of interpretation; limiting the effects of forum shopping; limiting the trade-restricting effects of the fragmentation of national private laws; ensuring the free movement of persons; enhancement of legal certainty and predictability; and       potential solutions for an agreement-based Brexit.

It provides black letter law as represented by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU and the Member State courts, as well as the latest academic opinion.

In the current era of globalization, where communication, transaction, and migration across borders have transformed from exceptional to omnipresent phenomena, the pressing question is no longer if the state has to grant access to justice in international situations but how that right can be implemented effectively. To this end, renowned conflict of laws scholars analyse every provision of the Regulations in a systematic and  thorough manner, making them accessible to a broad international legal audience. The result is an indispensable companion for academics, judges, lawyers, and legal professionals in their day-to-day work.

Rome RegulationsCommentaryFourth EditionEdited by Gralf-Peter Calliess & Moritz RennerThe law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations in cross-border civil and commercial matters in the European Union (EU) is the remit of the so-called Rome I and II Regulations that entered into force in 2009, supplemented by the Rome III Regulation of 2012, dealing specifically with divorce and legal separation. This article-by-article commentary now updated to its fourth edition has become a cornerstone resource in handling European cases involving conflict of laws and has been recognized as a leading authority by EU and national courts alike. The fourth edition reflects major developments since 2020: the evolving post-Brexit landscape with the UK's transposition of Rome I and II into domestic law, the proliferation of economic sanctions as overriding mandatory provisions, recent landmark CJEU judgments advancing common European understanding of the Regulations, and the impact of the 2019 Hague Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments.The commentary, authored by leading scholars of conflict of laws and drawing on extensive case law and scholarship, highlights such crucial aspects as: principles of interpretation and autonomous EU law concepts; limiting forum shopping and trade-restricting effects of legal fragmentation; ensuring free movement of persons and legal certainty; navigating the intersection of geopolitical conflicts and private law through sanctions regimes; managing potential divergence in EU-UK interpretation of conflict-of-laws rules; and the interplay between European and international conflict-of-laws frameworks.It provides black letter law as represented by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU and the Member State courts, as well as the latest academic analysis. In an era where cross-border transactions have become omnipresent, renowned conflict of laws scholars analyse every provision of the Regulations systematically and thoroughly. The result is an indispensable companion for academics, judges, lawyers, and legal professionals in their day-to-day work.

Welche Folgen hat die Europäisierung und Internationalisierung der Märkte für das Schuldvertragsrecht? Insbesondere die rasante Entwicklung des elektronischen Geschäftsverkehrs hat den Ruf nach einem Europäischen Vertragsrecht oder gar einem Weltprivatrecht wieder laut werden lassen. Am Beispiel des Verbrauchervertragsrechts fragt Gralf-Peter Calliess nach dem Schicksal bisher vom Nationalstaat garantierter sozialer Schutzrechte in der Globalisierung. Im ersten Teil analysiert er das geltende deutsche, europäische und internationale Recht der grenzüberschreitenden Verbraucherverträge. Im zweiten Teil untersucht er Lösungsansätze für die neue Problemlage, dass nicht nur die internationale Kaufmannschaft, sondern auch unerfahrene Verbraucher direkten Zutritt zu den Weltmärkten haben. Er beleuchtet aktuelle Entwicklungen im internationalen Privat- und Zivilverfahrensrecht und kommt zu einem vernichtenden Ergebnis: die Nationalstaaten sind weder willens noch in der Lage, für Rechtssicherheit und Gerechtigkeit auf globalen Märkten zu sorgen. Der Autor fragt deshalb nach dem potentiellen Beitrag von privater Ordnung und zivilgesellschaftlicher Global Governance zur Entstehung einer Weltrechtsordnung. Ist Recht auch jenseits der Nationalstaaten denkbar? Am Beispiel der Lex Mercatoria und der ICANN UDRP werden Voraussetzungen, Funktionsweise und Legitimation nicht-staatlicher, transnationaler Zivilregimes erläutert. Im dritten Teil wird schließlich die Entwicklung eines transnationalen Verbrauchervertragsrechts für den elektronischen Weltmarktplatz nachgezeichnet.
