The Politics of Global Regulation by Walter Mattli

The Politics of Global Regulation by Walter Mattli

Presents an analytical framework to explain regulatory outcomes at the global level. This book offers a series of case studies that illustrate the challenges of a global economy in which many institutions are less transparent and are held much less accountable by the media and public officials than are domestic institutions.

Special Recognition for the 2010 Levine Prize, Research Committee on the Structure of Governance, International Political Science Association "The Politics of Global Regulation makes a significant contribution to this field of research, focusing on global regulatory changes in different policy areas.. The book provides a well-structured and coherent set of contributions that focus on the difficulties faced by supranational regimes in avoiding regulatory capture at the global level."--Jacint Jordana, Governance "This impressive new volume demonstrates some of the best new thinking on global regulation and the ways in which the context and process of policy making affect the rules, standards and institutions that increasingly govern people's lives. Walter Mattli and Ngaire Woods provide the analytical centrepiece of the volume, which seeks to explain which interests are likely to be represented in global regulation... Thanks to this impressive volume, future work in this area will no doubt have a richer analytical grounding than before."--Kevin Young, Global Policy "The recent global financial crisis and recession have forced the issue of financial regulation to the top of the international political agenda. The current economic difficulties may provide the world with a one-in-a generation opportunity to formulate a set of constructive rules for the century's economy. The book deals with the general issue of how regulatory regimes are created and evolve... What a joy to find an edited volume in which the constituent chapters actually fit together in a coherent whole... All of the chapters refer back to the basic constructs presented in the opening theoretical piece--a rarity in this kind of work. The book is thus highly recommended to both experts in the field and neophytes."--Joel Campbell, International Affairs "[This book] ... is likely to make a significant impact on the field of international political economy."--Tim Dunne, Times Higher Education
