Globalisation & Law Network

 

The Globalisation & Law Network is composed by a group of researchers of Maastricht University, coming from different backgrounds, who study the role that law plays in a globalizing society from a holistic perspective. We are interested in understanding how globalization is challenging legal systems, the societal consequences of these changes, and how legal actors and instruments should be adapted to respond to these challenges. 

Globalisation & Law Network brings together scholars working in different fields of law - administrative, constitutional, criminal, private, tax - and focusing on different levels of governance - international, EU, national - in order to tackle a number of overarching research questions from several angles.

Research

Globalisation & Law Network aims at studying the changing role of law in a globalising society, and, in particular, how globalisation is challenging the potential of the law to regulate, protect and solve disputes.

Our Research focuses on two main themes: 
1. Legitimacy issues created by Globalisation and
2. Judicial Protection and Conflict Resolution.
