The idea of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) was “officially born” in 2017 and has since then led to a lot of discussion not least from the viewpoint of related legal implications. The whole GBA notion is, however, anything but clear. This seminar is the kick-off event of a series of public seminars which aim to shed light on different legal aspects related to the GBA. To set the scene, this seminar first discusses the current status of GBA law as well as future prospects. The second part then addresses the existing diversity in terms of legal cultures in the GBA. Taking research conducted in the area of organizational behavior sciences as a starting point, it explains the “mechanics” of legal culture in general and explores if and how the famous clash of legal cultures can be avoided in the GBA and how cultural diversity can rather be utilized with the goal to support economic integration.
