'Until the publication of this text it has always been difficult to conceptualize the meaning and scope of Transnational Governance. By incorporating a varied group of contributors who are all experts in their own fields, the editors of this publication have been able to achieve a credible explanation of an increasingly challenging feature of international regulation and governance.' David Barker AM, Emeritus Professor and Editor of the Legal Education Digest ’The University of Western Sydney School of Law has produced an exciting, wide-ranging and versatile survey of the past, present and future systems of transnational governance. Importantly, this book contributes to our understanding of the sources, causes and effects of the increasing legalization of global governance.’ Heikki Patomäki, University of Helsinki, Finland
