The Pillars of Global Law

Description:

This book deals with the transformation of the international legal system into a new world order. Looking at concepts and principles, processes and emerging problems, it examines the impact of global forces on international law. In so doing, it identifies a unified set of legal rules and processes from the great variety of state practice and jurisprudence. The work develops a new framework to examine the key elements of the global legal system, termed the 'four pillars of global law': verticalization, legality, integration and collective guarantees. The study provides an in-depth analysis of the differences between traditional international law and the new principles and processes along which the universal society and world power are organized and how this is related to domestic power.

The book addresses important changes in key legal issues; it reconstructs a complex legal framework, and the emergence of a new international order that has still not been studied in depth, providing a compass that will prove a useful resource for students, researchers and policy makers within the field of law and with an interest in international relations.

Reviews

This book offers a challenging perspective of the international legal system from Westphalia (1648) to San Francisco (1948) to our contemporary global legal system. It reflects not only a systemic approach but an avant-garde one that gives us the outline of the future evolution of the role of law and legal institutions in tomorrow's evermore globalized society. It is a significant contribution to the field of international legal studies.' M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University College of Law, USA This book is concerned with how the international legal system is changing and the implications of globalization for the structure and content of the law. Not everyone will agree with the author's conclusions, but the broad coverage and topical themes of the work should ensure it has a wide and responsive readership.' John Merrills, University of Sheffield, UK
