Springer Non-State Regulatory Regimes: Understanding Institutional Transformation

Non-State Regulatory Regimes explores how the concept of regulation continues to evolve. The focus is placed on those forms of regulation that are different from state regulation or present alternatives to state regulation. Departing from an analysis of the goals and policies of the traditional regulatory state, the emergence of 'regulation by other means' is examined. The approach is interdisciplinary encompassing various perspectives be they legal, political, international relations-based, economic, or sociological. The task of comprehending non-state regulation is a daunting one. To date, a number of essays already exist, which concentrate on specific aspects of the issue. In comparison to these essays, this study is innovative in that it applies a holistic view. Linking public policy approaches to regulation, it draws a theoretical path to understanding the emergence and persistence of non-state jurisdictional assertions and regulatory regimes. Review "Der Wandel des Völkerrechts im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert ist ebenso ein Gemeinplatz wie die Modernisierung des staatlichen öffentlichen Rechts, insbesondere des Verwaltungsrechts - aber gehören beide Entwicklungen zusammen und wenn ja, wie verhalten sie sich zueinander? Äußerlich als Abhandlung über nicht-staatliche regulatorische Systeme gekennzeichnet, widmet sich die "cross-disciplinary" Untersuchung von Myriam Senn genau diesen Fragen und entwickelt ein beeindruckendes Bild eben jener neuen Regulierungsstrukturen im Bereich jenseits des Staates... In der Gesamtschau besticht die Studie Senns durch ihre deskriptive Präzision: Einzelphänomene der institutionellen Entwicklung namentlich im internationalen Finanzwesen werden einander zugeordnet und in einen theoretisch-systematischen Rahmen eingebunden..."
