Abstract

The chapter articulates the formidable challenges that transnational legal normativity poses to established thinking on legal phenomena and maps the different literatures that have emerged as a consequence. On the one hand discussions on transnational legal normativity are about new (supposedly) legal phenomena, the novel normative challenges these pose to state and international legal systems and the need for an interdisciplinary approach to study them. On the other hand, however, transnational law is at least as much a reflection on deep seated disciplinary assumptions of state-based legal scholarship and domestic legal theory which are now claimed to be untenable. Therefore, talking about transnational legal normativity amounts to reopening the investigation of what should count as domestic law.
