摘要

Twelve papers examine to what extent nonstate law currently influences state regulation and consider what should be the consequences of nonstate law for state regulation. Papers discuss what nonstate law is-mapping the other hemisphere of the legal world (Marc Hertogh); Philip Selznick-incipient law, state law, and the rule of law (Martin Krygier); the point of law-the interdependent functionality of state and nonstate regulation (Sanne Taekema); whether there can be law without the state-the Ehrlich-Kelsen debate revisited in a globalizing setting (Bart vanKlink); Eugen Ehrlich's nonstate law and the Roman jurists (Olga Tellegen-Couperus); environmental regulation and nonstate law-the future public policy agenda (Neil Gunningham); the hardness of soft law in the United Kingdom-state and nonstate regulatory activities related to nanotechnological development (Barbel Dorbeck-Jung and Marloes van Amerom); barristers beyond the law-state and nonstate actors working in partnership to enforce legal and moral norms (Jenny Job); a world without a sovereign-native title law in Australia (Francesca Dominello); regulating the living will-the role of nonstate law at the end of life (Oliver W. Lembcke); the influence of court judgments on nonstate law (Hans Peters); and the move toward a fruitful relationship between state regulation and nonstate law (Hanneke van Schooten and Jonathan Verschuuren).
