Cambridge University Press is publishing a new book on
former ICJ Judge Jessup and transnational law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In 1956, ICJ judge Philip Jessup highlighted the gaps
between private and public international law and the need to adapt the law to
border-crossing problems. Today, sixty years later, we still ask what role
transnational law can play in a deeply divided, post-colonial world, where
multinationals hold more power and more assets than many nation states. In
searching for suitable answers to pressing legal problems such as climate
change law, security, poverty and inequality, questions of representation,
enforcement, accountability and legitimacy become newly entangled. As public
and private, domestic and international actors compete for regulatory
authority, spaces for political legitimacy have become fragmented and the
state's exclusivist claim to be law's harbinger and place of origin under
attack. Against this background, transnational law emerges as a conceptual
framework and method laboratory for a critical reflection on the forms, fora
and processes of law making and law contestation today.
