Avtorica prek treh raziskovalnih vprašanj obravnava transnacionalno pravo. V ta namen najprej predstavi proces tranzicije iz obdobja moderne v obdobje postmoderne, kar je osnova za obravnavo vseh vprašanj. Zatem odgovarja na prvo raziskovalno vprašanje: kaj pomeni transnacionalno pravo in ali sploh obstaja? Odgovor je podan prek opredelitve, delitve in opisa vseh značilnosti tega pojma. Sledi odgovor na drugo raziskovalno vprašanje: kako je transnacionalno pravo vplivalo na preobrazbo države? Prek njega se članek osredinja na vpliv transnacionalnega prava na suverenost in demokracijo države, institucionalno infrastrukturo držav, spoštovanje človekovih pravic, načelo pravne države ter legitimnost, legalnost, pravičnost, enotnost, skladnost in druge značilnosti prava. V sklepnem delu avtorica odgovarja na tretje vprašanje: kako lahko postmoderna država omeji grožnje in izrabi priložnosti transnacionalnega prava? Avtorica kot rešitev predlaga prav spremembe v pravnem izobraževanju, ki bi omogočile boljši in obsežnejši študij transnacionalnega prava. Z novim znanjem bi tako države še naprej znale ohranjati svoje državne ureditve, pravne trende in vrednote, hkrati pa še izboljšale svoja šibka področja z elementi transnacionalnega prava.

Through three research questions, the author deals with transnational law. She first presents the process of transition from the modern to the postmodern period which is the basis to address all research questions. The article then answers the first research question: “What does transnational law mean and does it even exist?” The answer to that question is provided by defining the term, its division and description of all the characteristics of the transnational law. This is followed by the answer to the second research question: “How has transnational law affected the transformation of the state?” Through it, the article focuses on the impact of transnational law on the state sovereignty and democracy, its institutional infrastructure, human rights, the rule of law and legitimacy, legality, equity, unity, coherence and other features of law. In the final part, the article answers the third question: “How can a postmodern state limit threats and seize the opportunities of transnational law?” As a solution the au- thor proposes changes in legal education that would enable a better and more extensive study of transnational law. With new knowledge, states would be able to continue to maintain their national systems, legal trends and values, while simultaneously improve their weak areas with elements of transnational law.
