In what follows I offer a series of talking points about the life of law amidst globalisation. After' only offers us a limited range of strategies of sleeping with the enemy.
Globalisation challenges each one of tenets and gains of globalism.
It denies principles of self-determination of states and peoples, creating a borderless world for the movement of capital and technology. It repudiates the vision of a just world order putting in its place world free trade as the only legitimate ideology, which generates both weariness and wariness towards human rights discursivity. It reduces space of plurality and diversity in the imagination of human futures, rendering the local into the ghetto of a global marketplace. The forces of production, and accompanying relations of production, in a globalising world need, of course, careful attention. Even when marked by contradiction and complexity, the dominant trends are clear.
