A New Legal Realist Approach to Transnational Legal Orders
Gregory Shaffer (Loyola University, Chicago)

Abstract:

There has been a significant proliferation of transnational legal orders over the last decades. These papers address the need for an empirically grounded “new legal realist approach” to assessing the operation and impact of these transnational legal orders, building from a range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Two of the papers present a general framework with references to work in this vein, while the other two build from new case studies.
