Globalization attracts dramatic change in how the world interacts. In this interaction, fast mobility is undeniable, conflicting interests come to a head and competition is hard in many aspects. Globalization opens up for a discussion concerning changes in the law, and of adaption and of consequences as a new institutional order arises. While a new institutional order may take many forms, also in the context of law, globalization connects all this. There are benefits and drawbacks to these rapid changes, and this gives rise to new discourses concerning investment, democracy, international relations, corruption, terrorism and social justice.

The ICLGG annual conference focuses on important legal development in society. The theme for the international conference this year is ‘Law, Governance and Globalization’.
