Symposium "Beyond Montesquieu: Re-thinking the architecture of contemporary governance" (Dublin, March 2012): The internet needs new types of legal ordering, which are adapted to self-regulation and the rapid transformation of knowledge and social norms. Data protection, public investigation, “social media” and financial markets challenge the classical orientation of the legal system towards individual behaviour. The new “addressees” of law are networks as quasi-subjects. New regimes of proceduralisation can structure the development of a “net-friendly” paradigm of a law beyond the individual. The article tries to demonstrate the feasibility of such a model with reference to the above-mentioned challenges.
