note = {This essay introduces the theme of the volume: The Grammar(s) of
Global Law. Legal grammar is understood as the conceptual and
linguistic foundation on which legal decisions rest - law’s
meta-structure, its argumentative techniques and its systematicity.
The essay distinguishes between two ways of thinking about this
grammar. The first way of thinking appeals to a grammar as a
stabilizing factor, maintaining the coherence of the law. The second
way of thinking highlights the asymmetries of power within this
structure and perceives legal grammar as the medium carrying the
ideological commitments of the law. As the essay ultimately argues,
both perspectives react differently to the challenges of globalization
that the law is confronted with. While the debate on the grammar(s) of
global law is one place where future political order is negotiated,
the outcome of the debate is largely open.},
