Synopsis

The study of law and globalisation is developing into a mature field with a variety of empirically grounded theoretical understandings of (trans)national legal fields and orderings. Yet, despite the dynamics of legal pluralism and the ripple effects of legal transplants and transformations, there have been pushes and shoves against the globalising ambitions of these theoretical canvasses. For instance, recent examples include the recent surge of populism in Europe and the United States, challenging the policies and institutions of what we even think of as the global other. Similarly, the prominence taken by China (and, increasingly, other emerging countries) is questioning the position of the United States as an unrivalled hegemon in global political, economic, social and legal diffusion processes. Moreover, there have been theoretical and ideological calls to challenge globalisation as a dynamic whose forces of homogenisation and resistance are led from, and directed against a diffuse conception of the Global North. This book takes stock of these debates and dynamics of change to ask: what can we see when we shift the lens from known and usual understandings of legal globalisation towards lesser understood and apparently invisible processes?
