From the viewpoint of the constitutional crisis in Europe, slow UN
reforms, difficulties implementing the Kyoto Protocol and the
International Criminal Court, and tensions between human rights and
trade, Mireille Delmas-Marty's 'journey through the legal
landscape' of the early years of the 21st century shows it to be
dominated by imprecision, uncertainty and instability. The early
21st century appears to be the era of great disorder: in the
silence of the market and the fracas of arms, a world overly
fragmented by anarchical globalisation is being unified too quickly
through hegemonic integration. How, she asks, can we move beyond
the relative and the universal to build order without imposing it,
to accept pluralism without giving up on a common law? Neither
utopian fusion nor illusory autonomy, Ordering Pluralism is her
answer: both an epistemological revolution and an art, it means
creating a common legal area by progressive adjustments that
preserve diversity. Since an immutable world order is impossible,
the imaginative forces of law must be called upon to invent a
flexible process of harmonisation that leaves room for believing we
can agree on - and protect - common values. 'The book is timely and
relevant to the practical concerns of those who work with, and
within, the legal system. We must thank Professor Delmas-Marty for
her fine work.' From the foreword, Stephen Breyer, Washington, DC
