Book Description
What can 'globalisation' teach us about law in the Weste tradition? This important new work seeks to explore that question by analysing key ideas and events in the Weste legal tradition, including the Papal Revolution, the Protestant Reformations and the Enlightenment. Addressing the role of law, morality and politics, it looks at the creation of orders which offer the possibility for global harmony, in particular the United Nations and the European Union. It also considers the unification of inteational commercial laws in the attempt to understand Weste law in a time of accelerating cultural interconnections. The title will appeal to scholars of legal history and globalisation as well as students of jurisprudence and all those trying to understand globalisation and the Weste dynamic of law and authority.
