Techno-regulation and law: rule, exception or state of exception?

2011, Netherlands journal of legal philosophy

AI-generated Abstract

The discourse on techno-regulation in the face of ecological crises prompts a nuanced exploration of the role of law, as evidenced by the exchange between Somsen and Corrias. The critique of existing regulatory frameworks poses critical questions about their legitimacy versus effectiveness, ultimately suggesting that mere technological solutions may not suffice in addressing deep-rooted environmental challenges. This paper argues for a rethinking of legal and regulatory approaches, contemplating the balance between necessary regulation and the preservation of legal legitimacy.
