"This collection of essays is the result of a workshop ... that was held in Science-Po, Paris in late 2008."--p.V.

Book Synopsis

Global Administrative Law has recently emerged as one of the most important contemporary fields in public law scholarship. Concerned with developing fuller understandings of patterns in global governance, it represents one of the most insightful ways of viewing the multifarious forms of public power that now exist beyond the State. The present collection brings together some of the leading scholars working in the field of global administrative law to address past and future challenges related to global governance. Each of the contributions picks up on the more general theme of the values that do or should inform global administrative law, and the book in this way provides a novel and thought-provoking commentary on this most engaging area of debate. Values in Global Administrative Law will be of interest to public lawyers, social and political scientists and scholars of international relations. It will also be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses that touch partly or exclusively on the challenges of global governance.

Review Quotes

"The book is very rich in thought-provoking contributions and a short review cannot hope to do justice to the variety of issues addressed.

With its many voices, viewpoints, perspectives, and factual information, the book under review brings further the conversation on the future institutional framework of humankind" --Common Market Law Review, Volume 49, 4
