Multinationals and the Constitutionalization of the World Power System: Globalization: Law and Policy

Editat de Jean-Philippe Robe, Antoine Lyon-Caen, Stéphane Vernac
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2016
This collection offers a powerful and coherent study of the transformation of the multinational enterprise as both an object and subject of law within and beyond States. The study develops an analysis of the large firm as being a system of organization exercising vast powers through various instruments of private law, such as property rights, contracts and corporations.
The volume focuses on the firm as the operational unit of governance within emerging systems of globalization, whilst exploring in-depth the forms within which the firm might be regulated as against the inhibiting parameters of national law. It connects, through the ordering concept of the firm in globalization, the distinct regimes of constitutionalization, national and international law.
The study will be of interest to students and academics in globalization and the regulation of multinational corporations, as well as law, economics and politics on a global scale. It will also interest government leaders and NGOs working in the areas of MNE regulations.

Recenzii

‘Building on a legal pluralist theoretical framework, this study makes a stimulating contribution to the growing body of scholarship dedicated to the private international legal dimension of global governance through its focus on the multinational firm as a power system interacting with a characteristically complex and reflexive regulatory environment.’
Horatia Muir Watt, Sciences-Po, France

Descriere

This collection offers a powerful and coherent study of the transformation of the multinational enterprise as both an object and subject of law within and beyond states. The study develops an analysis of the large firm as being a system of organization exercising vast powers through various instruments of private law yet disconnected from the World Power System. The authors argue that the firm needs to be subjected to the same constitutionalizing process that has been at the centre of the constitutionalization project of states. The book focuses on the development of concepts appropriate for this process.
