Transnational Fiduciary Law


Add your own review!

Overview

Fiduciary law is important transnationally, particularly in the context of global capitalism. Fiduciary law's characteristic regard for others offers a response to the pursuit of unconstrained self-interest in business and government relations, potentially implicating the exercise of both private and public power. Stakeholders have invoked it not only to address traditional private law matters, but also to enjoin transnational corporations to respect human rights, to combat public corruption, and to constrain national governments to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples. This book focuses on the processes through which conceptualizations of fiduciary relationships and fiduciary norms may (or may not) settle transnationally - or become unsettled - as actors invoke fiduciary norms to address problems in different domains, including across borders. It identifies complications and challenges of any transnational convergence of fiduciary norms that fiduciary theorists often elide. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Reviews

'Fiduciary law has both a long history and an increasingly timely presence in both private and public law. This fascinating collection of essays brings the robust contemporary academic scholarship of the field to its next level both thematically (by shifting to the transnational dimensions of fiduciary law) and methodologically (by focusing on the processes of norm construction, conveyance, contestation, and resistance). It is thus a must read for students of both fiduciary law and transnational legal theory; and it is the foundational text for students of transnational fiduciary law.' Hanoch Dagan, Professor Law, UC Berkeley School of Law 'Fiduciary law and theory have attracted unprecedented scholarly interest over the past decade, as we've witnessed the emergence of original analyses of principles spanning private, public and international law, as well as civil and common law traditions. But in an increasingly crowded space, there has been a notable blind spot: examination of the transnational development and reach of fiduciary principles. Transnational Fiduciary Law provides a perfect antidote. Edited by leaders in the field and featuring exciting work by eminent scholars from several jurisdictions, Transnational Fiduciary Law is destined to become a landmark in the field.' Paul B. Miller, Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School
