Reihe: Transformations of the State

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.
