  • Abstract:
  • Globalization has redefined the foundations upon which modern legal systems operate, challenging the long-standing assumption that law is exclusively a product of the sovereign state. Increasing cross-border interactions in trade, technology, human rights protection, and global governance have created legal norms that function beyond territorial boundaries and national control. In this evolving context, law is shaped not only by domestic institutions but also by international organizations, transnational regulatory regimes, and non-state actors. This article explores the impact of globalization on legal theory and emphasizes the necessity of re-examining the concept of law from a global perspective. It critically analyses how globalization has transformed the sources, authority, and legitimacy of law while exposing the limitations of traditional state-centric jurisprudence. The article argues that a global approach to legal theory is essential for understanding contemporary legal realities and for developing legal frameworks capable of addressing issues that transcend national boundaries in an interconnected world.
