This website is a work-in-progress. New content is added on a a regular basis, and of course, posting to the blogs occur with some regularity. Please visit often.
A guide to content: “My work focuses on the issues and complexities that are emerged around economic (and now social and political) globalization, especially since the start of this century). Globalization does not fall neatly into one or another of the fields into which legal or social science academic research usually nicely fits. Neither does my work. Those who seek to fit it within academic categories developed for a passing age (but one still much loved) are bound to be disappointed. . . In this new era, as new orthodoxies emerge, there is a short period of time when nonconformity to past orthodox principles might not suggest disorderliness or a failure of careful planning but rather might point to a necessary evolution of thinking.” This is such a time.
A guide to use of content: Readers are encouraged to borrow, paraphrase and otherwise use the materials on this website or my other work linked here. HOWEVER, please be courteous and cite the work used. “The main function of citation is to inform the reader that quotes and ideas found in a piece of submitted work originated from another source. Failure to properly credit a source constitutes plagiarism.” (cited from the Faculty of Arts, The University of Hong Kong, Definition of Plagiarism and Good Citation Practice).

An opening thought: “Ihrem Ende eilen sie zu, die so stark im Bestehen sich wähnen. Fast schäm’ ich mich, mit ihnen zu schaffen; Zur leckenden Lohe mich wieder zu wandeln, Spür’ ich lockende Lust. Sie aufzuzehren, die einst mich gezähmt, Statt mit den Blinden blöd’ zu vergehn, Und wären es göttlichste Götter! Nicht dumm dünkte mich das! Bedenken will ich’s: wer weiss, was ich tu’!” Richard Wagner, Das Rheingold, Scene Four (Loge Aria); Pix: Wotan’s fortress of Valhalla (Brückner, 1896)
