Study Notes
Legal Aspects of Globalization
- Legal centralism, a modern legal ideology, has one characteristic: a single legal system corresponds to one geographic area.
- The "tulip bubble" illustrates that markets need external rules, and the state should not interfere in market matters, and goods find their price naturally.
- The connecting link between land and sea in the new European legal system became the Island of England, rather than the French state or the Empire.
- Comparative approaches to law, economics, and politics are typically universal in their scope compared to state-bound approaches.
- The "gold standard" is a monetary system where a fixed amount of gold determines the monetary unit's value, supporting international market stability.
- Chinese legal philosophy, similar to common law, emphasizes rule of law ("fazhi"). It is not heavily based on Western philosophical ideas.
- Globalization is essentially the rules governing the relationships between states, and not non-state governance systems, or international private law.
- Halford John Mackinder's 1904 article on the Geographical Pivot of History is an important work.
- The WTO (World Trade Organization) system globally regulates trade between nations, aiming at smooth, predictable, and free trade flows.
- Constitutional legitimacy ideally originates from the people, channeled through a constitution.
- The Bretton Woods institutions (IMF, WB, GATT) are pillars of globalized multilateralism.
- Comparative law emerged and grew in the 19th and 20th centuries primarily as a product of private international law.
- The modern state emerged conventionally in the Peace of Westphalia.
- The "Law and Development" approach in its second generation shifted focus from state policy to market-driven policies in developing countries.
- Legal realism, especially in America, recognizes a difference between law in books and law in action.
- The "Economic Consequences of Legal Origins" article by authors who propose legal origins in different ways, does not relate their concept to economic life.
- Globalization's history is found in attempts to create global distributive justice, to reform law in developing economies, and to reduce growing national debt.
- Medieval European law was characterized locally, with both a transnational and a communal (individual local law) component; and not as derived from exclusively natural law.
- In 1823, the Monroe Doctrine restricted further European land appropriation in the Western Hemisphere.
- Vitoria's concept of "discovery" in the 16th century was not considered a legitimate basis for territory acquisition.
- “Rayas” (dividing lines) shared the power of common order and arbitration among regions.
- The essential elements of colonialism are moral or religious influence and/or the control or domination of territory via individual groups.
- Hybrid legal systems combine elements of different legal families and have values/rules stemming from differing religious, moral or political traditions.
- Current legal transplants are built on the idea of universal values and the need for harmonious global governance, without necessary attention to local specific customs or practices.
- Globalization influences power, territory relations, and state sovereignty. The Westphalian system, based on state sovereignty, is changing and becoming more interdependent.
- Homogenization of laws from economic ties, while present in earlier periods (e.g. ancient Rome), is more prominent in recent globalization.
- Legal realism in Scandinavia had strong philosophical foundations based on contemporary Scandinavian thinkers.
- The "war guilt" clause (article 231) of the Treaty of Versailles addressed reparations in criminal-legal terms, not simply economic terms.
- The League of Nations consisted of various European powers(like Great Britain and France) and the USA (as important participants).
- The result of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia (1935-1936), in terms of the League response, was the defeat of a League member state by a fellow member state.
- The Paris Peace Conference of 1918-1919 had a global focus, but primarily dealt with European matters.
- Gentili is recognized as foundational to developing the concept of war based on the equality of states fighting each other.
- The Versailles Peace Treaty's Article 227 established criminal responsibility for Wilhelm II, the former German Kaiser, potentially establishing the precedent for future international criminal accountability.
- Roman law globally diffused aspects of its law, but laws varied regionally in application.
