Contests of Powers / Conflicts of Values: Law in a Transnational and Transsystemic Society
Organis茅 par le professeur Darren Rosenblum, Boursier Wainwright, cet atelier explorera comment le pouvoir 茅conomique et politique mondial est pass茅 du contr么le exclusif des 脡tats westphaliens 脿 une myriade d'acteurs priv茅s et publics qui se font comp茅tition.
搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] Our conversations will concentrate on analyzing what these new regimes look like, how they exercise power, what value conflicts have emerged, and what law looks like in the midst of these radical shifts. How do economic resources and rights claims turn into legitimacy within law and material power? What are the techniques and purposes of boundaries 鈥� not just literal walls or borders, but those of jurisdiction and legal categories? What society is being imagined by the privatization of power transnationally?
We will attempt to answer these questions, and others that surface, through a collective engagement with central texts by Horatia Muir Watt and Frances Olsen, among others, as well as two or three draft texts from participants.
This workshop will resist the temptation to allow disciplines and methodologies to cabin independent thought: our conversations will cross disciplines (notably corporate law, family law, international private law, comparative law and others) and methodological approaches (critical theory, economic analyses including Marxism, pluralism and others).
External participants include Horatia Muir-Watt (Sciences Po), Kerry Rittich (Toronto), Robert Wai (Osgoode Hall), Chantal Thomas (Cornell), Amy Cohen (Ohio State) and Will Moon (Maryland).
Le d茅jeuner et des rafra卯chissements seront servis. Pri猫re de darren.rosenblum [at] mcgill.ca (confirmer sa pr茅sence) afin que nous puissions bien assurer l'intendance.
