Produktbeschreibung

This book provides critical reflections on the interplay between politics and law in an increasingly transnationalized global political economy. It focuses on the emergence and operation of new forms of governance that are developing through a variety of transnational contractual practices, institutions, and laws in multiple sectors and areas of economic activity. The expert contributors advance the understanding of the analytical, theoretical and normative dimensions of private transnational governance by contract, making a valuable contribution to new theory in law and politics. The volume interest students, academics and professionals of law, political science, IR, international political economy and sociology.
