The author addresses the question of whether globalization of law is possible in a world full of tensions due to an increase in economic inequality and the rise of national and regional differences.



She discusses whether it is reasonable or imaginable to have an organized set of norms when the helter-skelter proliferation of norms and the displacement of landmarks create instead the impression of normative disorder.



She then explores whether the globalization of law is ethically desirable, when none of our international institutions are currently able to guarantee respect for democratic values.
