FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Private law has long been the focus of efforts to explain wider developments of law in an era of globalisation. As consumer transactions and corporate activities continue to develop with scant regard to legal and national boundaries, private law theorists have begun to sketch and conceptualise the possible architecture of a transnational legal theory. Drawing a detailed map of the mixed regulatory landscape of 'hard' and 'soft' laws, official, unofficial, direct and indirect modes of regulation, rules, recommendations and principles as well as exploring the concept of governance through disclosure and transparency, this book develops a theoretical framework of transnational legal regulation. Rough Consensus and Running Code describes and analyses different law-making regimes currently observable in the transnational arena. Its core aim is to reassess the transnational regulation of consumer contracts and corporate governance in light of a dramatic proliferation of rule-creators and compliance mechanisms that can no longer be clearly associated with either the 'state' or the 'market'.The chosen examples from two of the most dynamic legal fields in the transnational arena today serve as backdrops for a comprehensive legal theoretical inquiry into the changing institutional and normative landscape of legal norm-creation.

Transnational Private Law: Hard Law, Soft Law, Reflexive Law and the Conditions for Private Law-Making Review For anyone interested in how law works today, and the dynamic interaction of public and private norms and national and international processes in law's formation and application, Rough Consensus and Running Code is a must read. Its theorizing is rich and ecumenical in scope. The focus is on transnational private law, but the book is requisite reading for those interested in any area of law. Kudos to Calliess and Zumbansen! Gregory Shaffer, Melvin C Steen Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School The authors brilliantly bridge the growing gap between law and evolving transnational governance practice. They do this with great knowledge of the multiple scholarships that address the diverse elements of this rapidly expanding reality. By combining law with pertinent research from economics, sociology and anthropology, the authors expand the analytic terrain within which to address the slippery subject of global governance. Saskia Sassen, Robert S Lynd Professor of Sociology, Columbia University. Author of Territory, Authority, Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages. This path-breaking book offers an original take on the relationship between law and alternative forms of social ordering rooted in market and community activity. Engaging critically with the fast-growing literature on global legal pluralism from the vantage point of a range of disciplines, Calliess and Zumbansen take the reader beyond mere synthesis to offer nothing less than a rigorous and innovative theory of transnational law. Whilst their sub-title purports to confine the analysis to private law issues, they also address the most significant issues of public law relating to sovereignty, constitutionalism and legitimacy of supranational governance practices. Colin Scott, Professor of EU Regulation and Governance, University College Dublin Every now and then a book comes along that makes one realise how truncated and hamstrung most prior studies of a subject have been. This is such a book. Demonstrating a rare fluency in both Continental and Anglo-American traditions of jurisprudence and social thought, the authors forge illuminating new pathways through and for transnational private law. Foremost among these is that laid by the authors' ingenious reengineering of "rough consensus and running code" for their purposes; those being to engage global regulatory challenges in all their complexity and dynamism. At once ambitious and rigorous, innovative and attentive, this is legal scholarship at its most exciting. Fleur Johns, Co-Director, Sydney Centre for International Law, University of Sydney Faculty of Law Rough Consensus and Running Code offers an important new perspective on the role of law in global governance. By taking legal pluralism seriously, it develops a nuanced and complex theory of transnational legal regulation. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how transnational law works in theory and practice. Sally Engle Merry, New York University Sovereignty is fiction. State legislators have to navigate an ever rising tide of rules, acts of authority, norms and exercises of power beyond their control.
