Summary/Abstract: The article presents a brief overview of the new lex mercatoria as a phenomenon of the legal globalization (global law) and offers a critics to the of the so-called "harmonizing" nature of this legal phenomenon related to the creation of a hegemonic model of modern business law that, however, is moving away from the categories of the European legal tradition.
