Law's ultimate frontier: towards an ecological jurisprudence : a global horizon in private international law
Watt, Horatia Muir
Law's ultimate frontier: towards an ecological jurisprudence : a global horizon in private international law - USA Hart Publishing 2023 - xi, 354 pages ; - Hart monographs in transnational and international law ; .
"This important book offers an ambitious and interdisciplinary vision of how private international law (or, conflict of laws) can and must be at the centre of re-working both our general understandings of law and concrete legal norms in directions that respond to ever-deepening global ecological crises. The author demonstrates why, paradoxically, it is this field of law's specific frontier location at the outpost of the law - where it is viewed from the outside as a mysterious obscurity and from the inside as a self-contained normative world - that generates its potential power to transform law generally and globally. Combining pragmatic and pluralist theory with an excavation of "shadow" ecological dimensions of law, the author, a recognised global expert, offers a truly transnational view. Put simply, it is a generational magnum opus. All international and transnational lawyers, be they in the private and public field, should read this book"--
