Global law is more an all-encompassing concept than a legal reality. There are very diverse issues under the umbrella of global law. The link that ties them together is the state’s diminished role as a regulator.1 A multilevel governance2 system has filled the gap left by national or domestic law. More specifically, there is a form of post-national regulation involving the interaction among states, international organizations or institutions, government networks, and other private stakeholders, such as multinational corporations (also known as multinational enterprises or companies), standardization bodies, and NGOs. The scenario for this new form of regulation is globalization, where several problems have arisen that are hard to solve through individual state action. Criminal policy experts often include all of these issues under the notion of transnational or cross-border crime.3 By making it into the wording of Article 83 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), this concept has traveled from international criminal justice policy and criminology to written positive (statutory) law.
