Jurisprudence for an Interconnected Globe

'... law can no longer be understood as provincial, which is to say, determined by its spatial boundaries, at all. Globalization makes questions of internationality both moot and necessary to any new jurisprudence. But the contributors to this collection... recognize the ways in which law is an over-lapping, fluid, and multiple phenomenon. In as much as the world "global" suggests an expanded province, a legal space that would encompass the globe, Jurisprudence for an Inter-connected Globe eschews such an imperialism. It offers instead a vision of plural legal orders whose effects are determined not by their global reach but by their local inter-connections, whose legitimacy and force is governed not by their province but by their provenance. Each of the articles here collected by Catherine Dauvergne takes up this challenge in a different way, and each provides us with new insights into some of the modern world's most difficult and multifarious problems...'
