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.
