Abstract

ABSTRACT The special issue revisits the notion of human problems in Philip C Jessup’s 1956 Transnational Law' Storrs Lectures on Jurisprudence. In order to explore the methodology and analytical utility of human problems and transnational law, the contributions introduce various case studies on corporate (ir)responsibility. This introduction first presents the role of human problems in Jessup’s lecture on transnational law. It then briefly outlines some of the analytical benefits of a transnational human problem perspective in general and in the context of studying issues of corporate (ir)responsibility in particular. A final section provides summaries of the contributions brought together in this special issue.

期刊介绍： The objective of Transnational Legal Theory is to publish high-quality theoretical scholarship that addresses transnational dimensions of law and legal dimensions of transnational fields and activity. Central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is publication of work that explores whether and how transnational contexts, forces and ideations affect debates within existing traditions or schools of legal thought. Similarly, the journal aspires to encourage scholars debating general theories about law to consider the relevance of transnational contexts and dimensions for their work. With respect to particular jurisprudence, the journal welcomes not only submissions that involve theoretical explorations of fields commonly constructed as transnational in nature (such as commercial law, maritime law, or cyberlaw) but also explorations of transnational aspects of fields less commonly understood in this way (for example, criminal law, family law, company law, tort law, evidence law, and so on). Submissions of work exploring process-oriented approaches to law as transnational (from transjurisdictional litigation to delocalized arbitration to multi-level governance) are also encouraged. Equally central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is theoretical work that explores fresh (or revived) understandings of international law and comparative law ''beyond the state'' (and the interstate). The journal has a special interest in submissions that explore the interfaces, intersections, and mutual embeddedness of public international law, private international law, and comparative law, notably in terms of whether such inter-relationships are reshaping these sub-disciplines in directions that are, in important respects, transnational in nature.
