Globalization, State Sovereignty, and the Development of International Criminal Law

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    "Today, virtually all nation-states have gradually become enmeshed in and functionally a part of a larger pattern of global transformations and global flows. Transnational networks and relations have developed across virtually all areas of human activity. Goods, capital, people, knowledge, communications, and weapons, as well as crime, pollutants, fashions and beliefs, rapidly move across territorial boundaries. Far from being a world of "discrete civilizations, "or simply an international society of states, it has become a fundamentally interconnected global order, marked by intense patterns of exchange as well as by clear patterns of power, hierarchy and unevenness."

    "To speak of globalization is inevitably to raise interrogations about the fate of the state. "
