Reviews
'The Globalisation of Urban Governance is a must-read primer for any researcher interested in the role of cities in addressing global sustainable development goals. Through a diversity of case studies and theoretical perspectives, the editors offer a valuable guide to navigating the challenges and opportunities for the governance of safe and sustainable urban spaces. A virtuoso effort led by two of the world's leading scholars in this field of environmental governance.' -Prof. Benjamin J, Richardson, University of Tasmania 'How to govern our globe's cities well? That is, how to live up to the sustainable development ideals of SDG 11? This is one of the most pertinent questions of our time. The Globalization of Urban Governance is an excellent volume that advances the emerging field of research on urban governance at the intersections of global governance, (international) law, political science and urban studies. Aust and Du Plessis have put together a wonderful collection of clear and engaging chapters, which deal with various aspects of the globalisation of good governance of cities from a legal perspective. A highly innovative book relevant to both the scholarly and policy discourse on the meaning of SDG11.' -Janne E. Nijman, Professor of History and Theory of International Law, University of Amsterdam
