Abstract

ABSTRACT We sketch a novel mode of governance—‘global ungovernance’ (GU)—which draws on and informs the articles in this special issue. GU operates in the context of transnational institution-building projects which at once pursue big visions with claims to universality (eg, building ‘markets’ or the ‘rule of law’), and at the same time offer no adequate prescriptions. We argue that the ‘impossibility of closure’ becomes a central problematic of practical activity in GU—by which we mean the ultimate practical impossibility of matching institutional structures with desired outcomes in these contexts. Viewed as a set of organised practices, GU evinces a commitment both to pursue closure and to embrace its impossibility, equally competently and even at the same time. As a result, GU changes the nature, purpose and conditions of possibility of institution-building techniques and practices.

导言:全球联合国治理

我们概述了一种新的治理模式-“全球无治理”(GU) -它借鉴并通知了本期特刊中的文章。GU是在跨国机构建设项目的背景下运作的，这些项目既追求具有普遍性的宏大愿景(例如，建立“市场”或“法治”)，同时又没有提供适当的处方。我们认为，“封闭的不可能性”成为社会主义实践活动的一个核心问题——我们的意思是，在这些背景下，将制度结构与预期结果相匹配的最终实践不可能性。作为一组有组织的实践，GU展示了一种既追求结束又拥抱不可能的承诺，同样称职，甚至同时。因此，GU改变了制度建设技术和实践的性质、目的和可能性条件。

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.
