New Frontiers, New Actors, New Rules: Global Commons, Human Rights, Business. How to Improve Judicial Cooperation and International Development

Abstract

The state of international relations and the effort of international public actors and non-state entities to adopt new rules to govern their relationships by balancing human rights protection, human development and economic business growth is at stake. The creation of new legal frameworks to introduce innovative concepts and to regulate the interaction among traditional and innovative actors is not an easy task: it demands from States and International Organizations a proper determination and patience to preserve original legal features while advancing different notions and operational tools to found special regimes and disciplines which could be mutually and complementary reinforcing. The contribution aims at debating legal concepts, different stakeholders, renewed procedures that have emerged in the global scenario and that need for appropriate and applicable international rules for a challenging governance.
