 Studies on Globalization and Europanization of Private Law

Over the last 20 or 30 years, the world has experienced an unprecedented increase in international exchanges of persons, goods, capital, and data. This process is usually encapsulated in the term of globalization. It is due to major technical changes: the container revolution in the transport of goods, the use of wide-body aircraft in the carriage of passengers, and the internet and satellite communication for the transfer of information including data which are relevant for the capital markets.

 

Globalization has taken place in a world that has traditionally been ordered by nation states and the law emanating from national legislation. The territorial confinement of the binding force of such laws is less and less suited to the needs of a globalized economy and worldwide exchanges. But the legal system is evolving, too. A growing number of international conventions covering various areas of the law including such diverse subjects as commercial transactions and human rights give evidence of the consciousness of the international community of the need for a global law. A driving force in this process has been the European Community. Established in the aftermath of the Second World War as a mechanism for the economic recovery of Europe, it has turned into a powerful scheme of integration of national markets, of political decision-making processes, and of national laws. Although geographically limited to Europe, it has been accepted in some parts of the world as a model for regional integration that has successfully overcome the national confinement of law.
