Fiduciary law is important transnationally, particularly in the context of global capitalism. Fiduciary law's characteristic regard for others offers a response to the pursuit of unconstrained self-interest in business and government relations, potentially implicating the exercise of both private and public power. Stakeholders have invoked it not only to address traditional private law matters, but also to enjoin transnational corporations to respect human rights, to combat public corruption, and to constrain national governments to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples. This book focuses on the processes through which conceptualizations of fiduciary relationships and fiduciary norms may (or may not) settle transnationally - or become unsettled - as actors invoke fiduciary norms to address problems in different domains, including across borders. It identifies complications and challenges of any transnational convergence of fiduciary norms that fiduciary theorists often elide. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

'Fiduciary law has both a long history and an increasingly timely presence in both private and public law. This fascinating collection of essays brings the robust contemporary academic scholarship of the field to its next level both thematically (by shifting to the transnational dimensions of fiduciary law) and methodologically (by focusing on the processes of norm construction, conveyance, contestation, and resistance). It is thus a must read for students of both fiduciary law and transnational legal theory; and it is the foundational text for students of transnational fiduciary law.' Hanoch Dagan, Professor Law, UC Berkeley School of Law
