Theorethical Basis For Conceptualizing of Transnational Law

Following the emergence of transnational phenomena, societies and norms, these relatively new phenomena organized and articulated by a group of theoreticians under the term of "theory of transnational law". The theory of transnational law as a theory with not a long history has raised many issues. While evaluatting the results of this theory pursuant the presenting the concept of transnational law, one of the most important issues, and perhaps earliest one is to study the theoretical basis which are necessary and help the scholars in describing how to face the normative products of transnational law in existing legal orders.
The theoretical foundations that explain how transnational law is conceptualized can be regarded as the most recent theoretical achievements of law, an attempt to wear the law new camouflage by transnational law.The richest and most powerful of these theoretical foundations can be considered in two schools of legal philosophy- legal positivism and legal sociology. In this paper, while examining the views of these two schools on how to transpose international law into the existing legal order, it has been attempted to determine the status of each in the field of study of transnational law by extracting the distinct aspects and achievements of these two in this regard.
