Study Notes
Legal Aspects of Globalization
- Legal Centralism: One characteristic of modernity's legal ideology is that all legal systems stem from the Western Legal Tradition. Each system is based on a specific natural law conception. A single legal system generally corresponds to a single geographical area.
- Tulip Bubble: The "tulip bubble" illustrates that markets need rules established externally; states shouldn't excessively intervene in market matters. Market prices for goods often self-regulate.
- Jus Publicum Europaeum: The connecting link between land and sea orders in this new European legal system was the Island of England.
- Comparative Approaches: Shared aspects of comparative, global, and transnational approaches to law include a complex study of law, economics, and politics, often appearing universal in contrast to traditional state-bound approaches, and the lessened discussion around state-centric laws.
- Gold Standard: The gold standard is a monetary system where the base monetary unit is a fixed amount of gold, or maintains a fixed value relative to gold. Its purpose was to ensure market stability through international taxation.
- Chinese Legal Philosophy: Classical Chinese political and legal philosophy centers around the concept of "renzhi," or governing and ruling men. It is comparable to the common law's "fazhi" which can be roughly translated to rule of law.
- Globalization's Normative Conceptualization: Globalization is essentially defined by the interplay of rule-making systems related to non-state governance, and the set of rules governing inter-state relations. International private law also forms part of this system.
- Halford John Mackinder: Halford John Mackinder is the author of "The Geographical Pivot of History.”
- World Trade Organisation (WTO): The WTO manages global trade rules between countries. Its role is to facilitate smooth, predictable, and free trade flows.
- Bretton Woods Institutions: The three pillars of Bretton Woods multilateralism are the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB), and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
- Comparative Law: As a discipline, comparative law developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a consequence of private and constitutional law's developments.
- Modern State: The Modern State is conventionally associated with the beginnings of the Peace of Westphalia.
- Law and Development Approach: The second generation of the "Law and Development" approach shifts focus from state-related topics towards market-oriented policy, as seen in many post-socialist countries in the 1980s.
- American Legal Realism: One characteristic of American legal realism highlights the difference between "law in action" and "law in books," acknowledging the varying importance of positive/statutory law. The approach also recognizes that natural law principles are important.
- Economic Consequences of Legal Origins: The authors of this study use the idea of legal origin, emphasizing legal pluralism and the broad social control role of law, which is not limited to economic life.
- Law and Development Background: Law and Development's roots lie in attempts to create international distributive justice, to promote legal reforms in developing countries and to reduce the public debt in some regions.
- Middle Ages European Law: During the Middle Ages, European law was commonly understood as a system combining local, specific laws, with a wider, common legal system.
- Monroe Doctrine: The 1823 Monroe Doctrine declared the Americas (Western Hemisphere) closed to future European colonization, in relation to the League of Nations Charter in 1923.
- Vitoria on Discovery: Vitoria questioned the legitimacy of acquisition in a newly-discovered territory.
- Aggressive War: The 1924 Geneva Protocol addressed declarations of aggressive war as being crimes.
- First Law of Giambattista Vico: The first law for Giambattista Vico was received from heroes and took the form of agrarian laws.
-
Rayas: The first divisions had shared power among a collective authority.
- Colonialism: Colonialism can be defined as moral and religious influence, but also as domination over territories by individuals or groups.
- Hybrid Legal Systems: Hybrid legal systems incorporate elements from various legal traditions; thus, their attributes are often distinct from Western legal systems and exhibit a synthesis or mix of religious and moral concepts.
- Western Legal Transplants: Current Western legal transplants are often based on the idea that universal values exist and need to be applied globally, or alternatively, on the need to respect the existence of various legal systems (legal pluralism) and cultural contexts.
- Globalization's Impact on State-Territory Relationship: Globalization affects the relationship between power and territory, shifting the understanding of international law and state sovereignty. A key element involves law's and economic forces' homogenization across borders and the ongoing presence of inequalities. Some legal traditions and approaches may be seen as stemming from colonialism, and persist into the present.
- Legal Globalization: Legal globalization is characterized by the growth of international migration and financial flows as well as interconnections between various legal and organized activities.
