Preface
This volume contains 11 cutting-edge essays by leading legal scholars and
philosophers to explore the transformations of jurisprudence in a globalized
world. These essays offer a wide variety of views and stimulating debate on
jurisprudence's three central issues: meta-jurisprudential questions about
modifications of legal methodological approaches spurred by globalization,
analytical inquiries about the concept of law in a globalized context and the
conceptual tools required to account for putative new forms of legal phe-
nomena, and normative or politico-moral issues relating to the legitimacy and
democratic character of these legal orders. The Introduction sets the stage by
justifying this division and providing a summary of the chapters. We hope that
this volume helps to shape the agenda for future research in transnational and
global legal theory.
