Abstract
The article presents a contemporary approach to understanding the empire of law. It cites and describes various political regimes which the author refer as the empire of law. It then analyzes that these empires of law reflect the fact that old notions of sovereignty and the exercise of sovereign power are no longer sufficient to describe contemporary international law.
