Globalisation, Law and the State begins - as is customary in
globalisation literature - with an acknowledgement of the
definitional difficulties associated with globalisation. Rather
than labour the point, the book identifies some economic, political
and cultural dimensions to the phenomenon and uses these to analyse
existing and emerging challenges to State-centric and territorial
models of law and governance. It surveys three areas that are
typically associated with globalisation - financial markets, the
internet, and public contracts - as well as trade more generally,
the environment, human rights, and national governance. On this
basis it considers how global legal norms are formed, how they
enmesh with the norms of other legal orders, and how they create
pressure for legal harmonisation. This, in turn, leads to an
analysis of the corresponding challenges that globalisation
presents to traditional notions of sovereignty and the models of
public law that have grown from them. While some of the themes
addressed here will be familiar to students of the European process
(there are prominent references to the European experience
throughout the book), Globalisation, Law and the State provides a
clear insight into how the sovereign space of States and their
legal orders are diminishing and being replaced by an altogether
more fluid system of intersecting orders and norms. This is
followed by an analysis of the theory and practice of the
globalisation of law, and a suggestion that the workings of law in
the global era can best be conceived of in terms of networks that
link together a range of actors that exist above, below and within
the State, as well as on either side of the public-private divide.
This book is an immensely valuable, innovative and concise study of
globalisation and its effect on law and the state.
