Concept information

Preferred term

regional law  

Definition(s)

  • Regional law may be considered a kind of transnational law that is not universal in character. This assertion holds regardless of whether regional law is defined narrowly—to designate a certain set of rules that a regional body has enacted due to distinctive sociocultural bonds, economic interests, values, or, more generally speaking, policy preferences shared by its members—or defined more broadly, as encompassing any rule having, regardless of its source, a regional scope of application. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Studies; Law, Regional]
