Commentary to Andreas Fischer- Lescano & Gunther Teubner. The Legitimacy of International Law and the Role of the State

Abstract

It will come as a surprise to many readers that Professor Teubner presented their fascinating contribution on regime collision to the Michigan Journal of International Law\u27s Symposium on a panel devoted to the Role of the State in International Law. Indeed, one could not imagine better devil\u27s advocates than Professor Teubner and Dr. Andreas Fischer-Lescano. They propose a radical break with a concept of international law and order based on the autonomous will of Nation-States. Accordingly, legal regulation does not only, if at all, emanate from Nation-States, but from a panoply of other public and, mostly, private actors. Thus, the authors dismiss all claims of an orgaizational or dogmatic unity of international law
