Abstract
The dawn of the twenty-first century has marked a new phase for legal scholarship, one that generated several world research projects seeking to tame globalization, such as global administrative law, global constitutionalism, informal international lawmaking, and transnational legal orders and transnational private regulation. This is the context in which global administrative law (GAL) was conceived, a context that naturally influenced its genesis and its original traits. This paper focuses on GAL scholarship and its development. The analysis is divided into three parts. First, the genesis of GAL, its scholarship in the early 2000s and its first steps is outlined. Second, the paper addresses the rise of GAL scholarship – and its differentiation – between 2004 and 2012. Third, it examines the current phase of GAL scholarship and its achievements, which begin to show elements of ‘maturity’.
