Fabio Bassan begins by posing a bold question: Can the scale and sophistication of a private digital platform compel us to recognize its rules and operations as an independent transnational legal system, and if so, how should such an entity be regulated? The interrogation of this query forms the backbone of a brisk 150-page analysis. Along the way, Digital Platforms and Global Law unpacks the current regulatory landscape and rebuilds it, culminating in the articulation of a new international legal order keyed to the paradigm that digital platforms like Facebook, Amazon, and Google have wrought. It is an interesting premise for a scholarly monograph, but the execution often falters. The complexity of the material would have made this a challenging text regardless, but its message is frequently muddled by irregular prose and confounding organizational choices. The author's subject-matter expertise is abundantly evident in the detailed footnotes and higher-order analyses. Unfortunately, the language used to convey these ideas can be difficult to follow.
