However, until today positive international law hardly reflects that transformation. Instead, it has perpetuated the centrality of the sovereign state in the world of law. The present article points to a number of features concerning the legal relationships between that state and other legal communities, both subnational and supranational, in which the continued central role of the state is manifesting itself. The article concludes by reflecting on possible reasons accounting for the center stage still assumed by the sovereign state, in spite of developments like the expansion of the scope of international law or the growth of international institutions. law alexrepo https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/256570/1/Fassbender%20State%20as%20center%20of%20legal%20universe%20ICON%202018.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository Onlinezugriff via WWW text/html https://academic.oup.com/icon/article/16/4/1207/5297596 ALEXREPO 1 Journal paper alexrepo PeerReviewed alexrepo peerstatus ALEXREPO 856 40 https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/256570/1/Fassbender%20State%20as%20center%20of%20legal%20universe%20ICON%202018.pdf text/html WWW-Backlink auf das Repository ALEXREPO 856 42 Onlinezugriff via WWW text/html https://academic.oup.com/icon/article/16/4/1207/5297596 ALEXREPO 100 1- Fassbender Bardo ALEXREPO 773 0- BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 ALEXREPO ALEXREPO ALEXREPO Journal paper
