Transnational Public Governance (eBook, PDF)

Networks, Law and Legitimacy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the work of transnational bureaucracy networks. These networks address global issues by creating rules – transnational public law – to be incorporated into national legal orders. As classical means fail to legitimize such activities, this book gives a practical account of viable alternative legitimacy mechanisms.
