SUMMARY CRITICAL AND UTOPIAN REMARKS
ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC LAW
AND GLOBALISATION
Given the impossibility to present a « rapport de synthèse » systemizing the contributions made to the conference, an attempt is made to assess the overall development
of globalisation of economic law in a legal-political perspective. In this respect the
starting point is the political rather than purely economic nature of globalisation,
and a disbelief in the spontaneous character of economic development. The terms of
the problems are set by the dependency of the evolution of the law on the development
of the economy (as predetermined by strategic political action) and by its concomitant devolution to private actors. The resulting construction of a liberal economic
order on the global level is based on the opening of national markets as guided by
WTO, and the latter’s transition from virtually non-binding to effectively enforceable
rules. By contrast, the structure of this new liberal trade order is harmonized only in
part (e.g. absence of global competition rules), and it lacks a framework
guaranteeing the safeguard of collective or public interests as they develop into
global dimensions, in particular as regards the social, cultural and educational
aspects of a globalised economy. Much emphasis is put on the resulting imperfections
and deficits, and on the needs and ways to accordingly complete global economic
order so as to make it at least acceptable, if not desirable. |
