Multiplicity and Law’s Foundations

Head back to programme.

Next sessions tomorrow (parallel): 14:00-15:30 CET/8:00-9:30 EST

How does multiplicity in law beyond (and within) the state affect our understanding of the nature of law? In this discussion, international law scholar Sarah Nouwen engages in a conversation with legal philosophers Brian Z. Tamanaha and Christoph Möllers to take stock of the debate and its implications for theories of law.

    To B. Tamanaha:

    I like the distinction between multiplicity and diversity, but I think that they are both present at the same time in some contemporary normative phenomena, such as religious arbitration in commercial matters. It involves both a clash of worldviews and clash of regime.
