Abstract
Mega-cities, Glocalisation and the Law of the Future
In the current globalization process, two related phenomena, both linked with ‘local’ realities, exercise a strong structural influence on the international governance and the evolution of public apparatuses: the rise of global cities, and that particular dialectic between international realities and local ones which is now commonly labeled ‘Globalization’. Both make corresponding local realities exist in the international legal arena, while their relations with it were previously always mediated by the state. This evolution raises various institutional and normative issues.
