Law at the End of the Day

Larry Catá Backer's comments on current issues in transnational law and policy. These essays focus on the constitution of regulatory communities (political, economic, and religious) as they manage their constituencies and the conflicts between them. The context is globalization. This is an academic field-free zone: expect to travel "without documents" through the sometimes strongly guarded boundaries of international relations, constitutional, international, comparative, and corporate law.

Round Table on the Implications of the 19th Chinese Communist Party Congress; Program, Speakers and On Line Materials

The Round Table on the Implications of the 19th Chinese Communist Party Congress that took place this Friday, November 3, from 10 AM through Noon U.S. East Coast Time, provided an opportunity for a global audience to consider, as a preliminary matter, the nature and character of the important development of Chinese political theory and its consequences for policy, the state and China's international engagements. The group of scholars from China, the U.K. the U.S. and Italy provided a lively and quite diverse set of impressions of critical aspects of the 19th CPC Congress. My thanks to the conference sponsors, Penn State Law, Penn State School of International Affairs, the Coalition for Peace & Ethics (which organized the event), and the Foundation for Law and International Affairs.

This post includes the Participant List and Program for the Round Table. Links to Conference materials and original sources form the 19th CPC Congress may be accessed from the Conference Web Site (access here). We will add more material as they are made available. We welcome engagement and look forward to continuing our analysis of the important work of the 19th Congress and the development of the CPC Basic Line.

About this Site:

At the end of the day, law?

. . . . Emperors and kings

Are but obeyed in their several provinces,

Nor can they raise the wind or rend the clouds;

But his domain that exceeds in this

Stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man.

A sound magician is a mighty god.

* * *

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,

And burned is Apollo's laurel bough,

That sometimes grew within this learned man.

Faustus is gone; regard his hellish fall,

Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise

Only to wonder at unlawful things,

Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits

To practise more than heavenly power permits.

Christopher Marlowe, "Dr. Faustus" (before 1593)

Globalization Law and Policy Series from Ashgate Publishing

About the Series:

Globalization: Law and Policy will include an integrated body
of scholarship that critically addresses key issues and theoretical debates in comparative and transnational law. Volumes in the series will focus on the consequential effects of globalization, including emerging frameworks and processes for the internationalization, legal harmonization, juridification and democratization of law among increasingly connected political, economic, religious, cultural, ethnic and other functionally differentiated governance communities. This series is intended as a resource for scholars, students, policy makers and civil society actors, and will include a balance of theoretical and policy studies in single-authored volumes and collections of original essays.
