Addresses the relationship between the nation-state and non-state law, considering how they can coexist and transform each other.
Non-state law is playing an increasing role in both public and private ordering. Numerous organisations have emerged alongside the nation-state, each purporting to provide their members with rules and norms to govern their conduct and organise their affairs.
The nation-state increasingly finds itself sandwiched between two broad and contrasting categories of non-state law. The firstβlaw above the stateβcaptures legal systems that function across the territorial borders of nation-states. The second categoryβlaw below the stateβincludes forms of local customary, religious, and indigenous law.
As these forms of non-state law persist and proliferate alongside the nation-state, the relationship between state and non-state law becomes more complex, multifaceted, and tense. Negotiating State and Non-State Law addresses this relationship, considering whether and to what extent state and non-state law can coexist and how each form of law seeks to influence as well as transform the other.
