The Rule of Law in Global Governance. Its Normative Construction, Function and Import
» ‎ DomainNews

Abstract: This paper divides in two parts. The first part elaborates on the difference among categories of "legalities" that have developed on the globe, and considers their shapes and thickness as irreducible to the uniform notion of a "global law".

It is the very fact of metamorphoses of law along diverse legal "formats" (one has to think of WTO, ISO, ICANN, WHO, ICLOS- about 2000 specialized global regimes-, of the newly coined "Global Administrative Law", of transnational merchant law, of regional order of the EU, of the international legal order, of State orders, and so forth).
