ABOUT THE BOOK
The study of law and globalization has matured over the last two decades, with a wide range of empirically informed theoretical understandings of (trans) national legal domains and orderings. Despite the complexities of legal positivism and the spillover effects of legal shift and modifications, there have been pushbacks against these theoretical globalizing ambitions. For example, the current rise of populism in Europe and the United States is putting pressure on what we refer to as the "global" other's policies and institutions. Similarly, China's (and, increasingly, other rising countries") rise to prominence is calling into question the United States' status as an unrivaled hegemon in geopolitical, economic, social, and legal transmission processes. What do we perceive when we examine legal globalization as a multipolar movement, in which legal revolutions, social transformation, and political situations are not simply determined by imitaion and opposition from the top down or from the bottom up? In other terms, when we query the hidden invisible phenomena of legal globalization, what do we see? In this background the present edited book is an attempt to produce a comprehensive literature on various facts of globalization.
