False Conscience
The contribution describes the legal phenomenon as a playing field characterized by a progressive regression of the law, understood as a sovereign will from top to bottom, both in the vision of formalist legal positivisms in continental Europe and in realist terms, in the United States. Soft law represents the main strategy to subordinate the law to the interests of the economy, elasticizing environmental law, making it favorable to the market, r…
From Poverty and Development to People’s International Law
Poverty is the direct consequence of property accumulation masked by the rhetoric of growth, development, and shared prosperity. International law has played a decisive role in the design of this schema, as a powerful engine for the transformation of commons into capital. This chapter undresses international law, exposing it as a depoliticised technology that has served as a powerful transnational vehicle to globalise exploitive practices of huma…
The Legal Metaverse and Comparative Taxonomy
The present Article revisits my “Three Patterns of Law: Taxonomy and Change in the World’s Legal Systems”—published in this very Journal a quarter century ago—which acknowledged the ideological nature of the law versus politics distinction and posited taxonomy as a means for understanding law. The original article classified law into professional law, political law, and traditional law, and heralded the tentative and dynamic natures of such class…

Communology
Against the spectacle of environmental, economic, social, and institutional crises spawned by capitalism, the authors advocate the urgency of a radically new social science: the nascent field of communology. As Marxism did in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, communology challenges orthodoxy. This article presents communology's evolving terminology, historical perspective, and intersections with law, politics, technology, and soc…
The Cold War and Comparative Law
How much does the current state of comparative legal studies owe to Cold War political imperatives? What happened to our discipline once such imperatives declined in the aftermath of the bipolar world? Comparative lawyers have been completely naive about the impact of the Cold War on their own discipline both as it reached maturity in the 1950s and as it developed after the fall of the Berlin Wall until now. This consequence of the professional d…
Protecting the Commons
This essay introduces the Italian commons social movement-a diverse coalition of scholars, jurists, politicians, and activists-central to the success of the 2011 water referendum. This essay attempts to provide the context for the struggles to protect commons goods in Italy, as well as the three-part strategy of social movements in deploying traditional political forums and mechanisms, illegal occupation, and contestation in courts of law. Access…
