Reviews

'... this edited volume is an excellent overview of the multiple definitions and dimensions of governance in various transnational situations and forms. Moreover, because it discusses the interrelatedness of global markets and other systems, this book is a fascinating read in the light of current global financial problems. Even though it was written before the ongoing economic crisis, the material is relevant and supplies a comprehensive contribution to studies of global governance.' -- Jessica O'Reilly, Science and Public Policy
