This book develops a sociological understanding of law making in
the European Union. In particular, the book focuses on the social
function of law in new governance structures promoting
decentralized and flexible procedures that encourage deliberation,
participation of stakeholders, and public dialogue. It pays
attention to both the practical knowledge and the power relations
underpinning law making, while seeking to bring to the foreground
the importance of compromise in the process. The empirical
substantiation of the argument discusses the regulation of
technology in the European Union and is premised on case studies of
governance of the Internet, patents of high technology, filters
used on the Internet to block harmful material, trademark law and
domain name dispute resolution by ICANN. To this effect, the book
studies the dynamics of constructing a legal argument inside the
European Commission, and its role in the process of coordinating
the creation of networks, securing enforcement in self regulatory
regimes, and steering activity on the part of autonomous groups of
actors.
