Transnational Private Governance and Its Limits
This volume explores a variety of forms of transnational private governance where non-state actors cooperate across borders to establish rules and standards accepted as legitimate by other agents. Transnational private governance is a core feature of the devolution of power that we observe in the global realm and that is bringing about new forms of authority. Transnational Private Governance provides theoretically and empirically informed insights into the interactions between states and non-state actors including domains beyond intergovernmental organizations, conventional non-governmental organizations, and multinational enterprises, covering a wide range of arrangements, from highly forma...
Services sans frontières
Les services pèsent près de 80% du PIB des pays de lOCDE, alors quils représentent à peine plus de 20% de leurs échanges internationaux. Pourquoi un tel écart ? La réponse vient pour une part de la grande difficulté à établir des normes internationales de type ISO pour les activités du secteur tertiaire. Il est en effet plus simple de mondialiser la production et la commercialisation dun smartphone ou dune voiture que celle de prestations médicales ou dassurances.À laide dun riche ensemble détudes de cas, cet ouvrage novateur pointe les entraves à la mondialisation des services, quelles soient sociales, économiques ou culturelles. Il se distingue des analyses conventionnelles sur la mondialisation des marchés, qui se fondent principalement sur les rapports de puissance interétatiques.En plaçant la problématique des services au coeur du nouveau régime de croissance capitaliste, il met en perspective les polémiques sur la sous-traitance et les délocalisations, et ouvre de nouvelles hypothèses sur les liens entre tertiarisation, internationalisation et normalisation.

The Power of Standards
Standards often remain unseen, yet they play a fundamental part in the organisation of contemporary capitalism and society at large. What form of power do they epitomise? Why have they become so prominent? Are they set to be as important for the globalisation of services as for manufactured goods? Graz draws on international political economy and cognate fields to present strong theoretical arguments, compelling research and surprising evidence on the role of standards in the global expansion of services, with in-depth studies of their institutional environment and cases including the insurance industry and business process outsourcing in India. The power of standards resembles a form of transnational hybrid authority, in which ambiguity should be seen as a generic attribute, defining not only the status of public and private actors involved in standardisation and regulation, but also the scope of issues concerned and the space in which such authority is recognised when complying to standards. This book is also available as Open Access.

Handbook of Global Economic Governance
Since the summer of 2007, the world scenario has been dominated by the US sub-prime mortgage crisis and its repercussions on global financial markets and economic growth. As banks around the world wrote down their losses and governments intervened to rescue domestic financial institutions, financial distress severely hit the real economy leading to what has been widely defined as the worst recession since the 1930s. Under these conditions, along with the immediate concern for stemming the effects of the crisis, policy-makers around the world have been debating the long-term measures that have to be adopted in order to reduce the likelihood of future crises and to ensure stable economic growt...
