Preferred term

global legal culture  

Definition

  • The obvious phenomenon in what some call “world society” is not the existence of a common legal culture, but global legal pluralism. State law (including international law); hybrid norms such as international standards or codes of conduct; regime norms; global actor norms (churches, organized crime, or sport organizations); and nongovernmental organization (NGO) norms are all competitors in regulating or supporting global interaction.
