'The concept of 'the new constitutionalism' informs a distinctive, critical approach to the study of contemporary global governance that emphasizes concrete attempts to institutionalize neo-liberalism. This volume provides a welcome introduction to the range and depth of the scholarship that adopts this approach.' Craig N. Murphy, M. Margaret Ball Professor of International Relations, Wellesley College and Research Professor of Global Governance, University of Massachusetts, Boston
