Abstract
Global economic integration is one of the most powerful forces shaping the contemporary international system. It has sparked processes of convergence in business and law as well as society and culture. It has also challenged established principles of the international order, created legal challenges and lacunae and is leading to new demands on states to fulfil functions previously outside of their jurisdictions. The role of the state to ensure the provision of public goods and achieve the goals of governance has become strained, and newly emerging policy issues are now increasingly dealt with by competing global, regional and national institutions.
