      abstract = {What should we call law when it is not the law of one or  several states? Does it actually matter what we call law?  How can we take into account the consequences of calling  something law when we shape the concept of law in the first  place? How does international arbitration help to  illustrate the problem?  This book is an investigation into  stateless law, illustrated by international arbitration  regimes. It addresses key philosophical questions posed by  international arbitration as a potential path to law beyond  the state. It ascertains which dimensions of transnational  legality arbitral regimes conform to, and what consequences  follow from it.  The argument of this book is firmly rooted  in contemporary legal positivism and is attentive to  current debates regarding the rule of law to ponder  legality without territory. A theory is suggested regarding  the minimal conditions that transnational regimes must  fulfil in order to legitimately and appropriately count as  law. The theory is tested on various arbitral regimes. The  book thus offers reflections on the extent to which  legality and the rule of law can serve as a moral and  political benchmark for transnational regimes, to assess  the political morality of arbitration's current autonomy  from states and what arbitration's claim for an increase in  that autonomy implies.},
