  • “Unpacking a ‘Not-yet-case’: FIFA as a transnational legal problem: litigation, advocacy and norm-creation”
  • The presentation will, in its first part, explore the promise and challenge of adding “transnational law” to the existing canon of legal doctrinal fields, on the one hand, and legal theories, on the other. In the second part, it will use the current scandal around corruption and labour rights violations by FIFA, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, to discuss practical consequences of understanding law “as transnational”.
  • Paper, “Where the Wild Things are: Journeys to Transnational Legal Orders, and Back” http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2723990
  • Discussant: Prof. Jacco Bomhoff (London School of Economics)
