    Collisions de régimes : la recherche vaine de l’unité juridique face à la fragmentation du droit mondial
    in Revue internationale de droit économique , Vol. 27, n°1-2 ,  2013 ,  187-228
    The article presents three arguments: The fragmentation of global law is more radical than any single reductionist perspective – legal, political, economic or cultural – can comprehend. Legal fragmentation is merely an ephemeral reflection of a more fundamental, multi-dimensional fragmentation of global society itself. Any aspirations to a normative unity of global law are thus doomed from the outset. A meta-level at which conflicts might be solved is wholly elusive both in global law and in global society. Instead, we might expect intensified legal fragmentation. Legal fragmentation cannot itself be combated. At the best, a weak normative compatibility of the fragments might be achieved. However, this is dependent upon the ability of conflicts law to establish a specific network logic, which can effect a lose coupling of colliding units.
