A postwar history of the reception of international, European and transnational law 

Key questions:

• Until when, and why, was law beyond the state (international, European and transnational law) largely accepted as legitimate in legal, political and societal debates in the Netherlands?
• When, and why, did the legitimacy of law beyond the state become controversial, and how has contestation evolved, and why in this way?
• Which reforms and innovations have been proposed to address legitimacy deficits? Have these reforms and innovations been (partly) realized, and if so, how have they been perceived?
