Résumé (en anglais seulement)

The relationship between law and globalization has rightly been recognized as an equation with at least three unknowns. Not only have competing definitions ofÌýglobalizationÌýand an increasing number of interpretations ofÌýlaw’s relationship to globalizationÌýphenomenaÌýemerged, butÌýlawÌýitself has become an entity with ever-less certain boundaries.

In light of an increasingly interdisciplinary engagement with the prospects of law’s modernist trias of legislation, enforcement and adjudication in a global context, legal scholars and law school teachers are hard-pressed to follow Trinity’s example in Matrix 1 – learning to fly a helicopter by instant download. Now, as for most of us that is not an option, we must direct our efforts towards a more process-based, incremental approach to learn the vocabulary and syntax of globalized law.

The seminar will review a number of developments in this context before suggesting elements of a methodological approach to the challenge at hand.
