Theorizing Transnational Law - Observations On A Birthday, Susanne Baer
Articles
There are many ways to theorize transnational law.

This process carries with it important implications for the future roles of both the European Union and the United States in the multilateral development of rules of private international law, with the EU moving toward an enhanced leadership role and the United States restricting its own ability …
