Contractual Knowledge: One Hundred Years of Legal Experimentation
in Global Markets, edited by Gregoire Mallard and Jerome Sgard,
extends the scholarship of law and globalization in two important
directions. First, it provides a unique genealogy of global
economic governance by explaining the transition from English law
to one where global exchanges are primarily governed by
international, multilateral, and finally, transnational legal
orders. Second, rather than focusing on macro-political
organizations, like the League of Nations or the International
Monetary Fund, the book examines elements of contracts, including
how and by whom they were designed and exactly who (experts,
courts, arbitrators, or international organizations) interpreted,
upheld, and established the legal validity of these contracts. By
exploring such micro-level aspects of market exchanges, this
collection unveils the contractual knowledge that led to the
globalization of markets over the last century.
