Reviews

'An essential read for anyone concerned with how the vast conglomerate of actors involved in the climate space might interact effectively to advance climate change regulation globally.' Jacqueline Peel, Melbourne Law School 'A vivid and timely account of the important and complex role that cities play in transnational climate change governance.' Liz Fisher, Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford 'In this compelling book, Professor Lin demonstrates the rise of global cities as forces in the generation of transnational legal norms. As she demonstrates, global cities are not merely engaging in action that suggests the inadequacy of classical accounts of international lawmaking; they are doing so self-consciously. This is truly a new phase in the field of international law, and its recognition and demonstration by Lin is profound.' Douglas A. Kysar, Yale Law School, Connecticut


Advance praise: 'An essential read for anyone concerned with how the vast conglomerate of actors involved in the climate space might interact effectively to advance climate change regulation globally.' Jacqueline Peel, Melbourne Law School


'An essential read for anyone concerned with how the vast conglomerate of actors involved in the climate space might interact effectively to advance climate change regulation globally.' Jacqueline Peel, Melbourne Law School and co-author of Principles of International Environmental Law and Climate Change Litigation: Regulatory Pathways to Cleaner Energy Jacqueline Peel, Melbourne Law School
