Demonstrating the crucial role that private international law and
legality has played and continues to play in shaping globalization,
this book argues that the rules, institutions, and actors that make
up the practice of private international law have been critical in
translating political and economic power into legal regimes that
have facilitated the processes of globalization. These processes
depend on two fundamental types of socio-political action - the
legal structuring of emerging transnational spaces and flows of
goods, capital, and finance, and the legal-political
reconfiguration of state power and priorities to facilitate the
growth of these spaces and their penetration into national
political-economic-and social spaces. While a variety of processes
were involved in these forms of action, the material practices of
private international law played a central role in this project of
political economic reconstruction. Offering a theory of private
international legality as a practice that intersects with and
provides a vehicle for the mobilization of political and economic
power, this book examines the construction and enrolment of private
law expertise and the structural condition of pluralism in the
global political economy to argue that private international law
has helped construct a global political economy responsive to the
priorities of powerful actors and resistant to the demands and
interests of the rest of the world's populations. It will be of
interest to academics and students exploring the relationship
between law, international political economy and the nature of
state power.
