'International law' is no longer a sufficient rubric to describe the complexities of law in an era of globalization. Accordingly, this collection situates cross-border norm development at the intersection of interdisciplinary scholarship on comparative law, conflict of laws, civil procedure, cyberlaw, legal pluralism and the cultural analysis of law, as well as traditional international law. It provides a broad range of seminal articles on transnational law-making, governmental and non-governmental networks, judicial influence and cooperation across borders, the dialectical relationships among national, international and non-state legal norms, and the possibilities of 'bottom-up' and plural law-making processes. The introduction situates these articles within the framework of law and globalization and suggests four important ways in which such a framework enlarges the traditional focus of international law. This book, therefore, provides a crucial reference for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the varied processes of norm development in the emerging global legal order.

This comprehensive, section-by-section analysis of these two fundamental international treaties on human rights includes a concise comparison of their provisions with U.S. law. The authors discuss the general role played by the treaties under U.S. law, and the means of enforcing compliance. Explaining why it has taken the U.S. so long to ratify even one of the two Covenants, the authors show how the obstacles may be overcome and urge speedy ratification of the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
