Private Law Beyond the Nation State
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.
