Law without the state
Law without the state is law made primarily outside of state power. It is also called transnational stateless law, or stateless law, or private legal orderings. These orderings, being recognized with some autonomy from the state, challenge traditional ways of thinking about the law. The increasing role of non-state actors in lawmaking takes two different forms. On the one hand, non-state actors have an important role in the making of law within the established legal systems, through lobbying and other means of influencing lawmakers in established legal systems. On the other, non-state actors also create norms outside and independently of these systems. It is this second dynamic in normative systems and norm development that is referred to as law without the state.
