Reviews

"""Kenneth Abbott and Duncan Snidal are masters at showing the variety of institutional forms in the contemporary world: from formal to informal governance, hard to soft law, international to transnational organizations. They are attuned to agency and how it varies, depending on agents’ positions relative to one another, and they have coined key phrases, including the ""governance triangle"" and ""orchestration."" For a sophisticated understanding of contemporary global governance, The Spectrum of International Institutions is essential reading."" - Robert O. Keohane, Professor of International Affairs Emeritus, Princeton University, USA. ""Abbott and Snidal are arguably the two most influential thinkers about institutional design in world politics. This volume brings together an authoritative ""Best of"" collection of their recent works. Moreover, it links the pieces together into a whole that is more than the sum of its parts, and in doing so shows how magisterial this work is."" - Michael Zürn, Director of the Global Governance research unit at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center; Professor of International Relations, Free University Berlin. ""For three decades, Kenneth Abbott and Duncan Snidal have been both the leading team of interdisciplinary international-law-and-international-relations scholars, and the most astute students of the ever-growing complexity of global governance. This volume brings together their most important and insightful recent scholarship, illuminating the rise of private transnational governance, the proliferation of ""soft-law"" and informal regimes, and efforts to ""orchestrate"" governance. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand global governance in the 21st century."" - Mark Pollack, Professor of Political Science and Jean Monnet Chair, Temple University."
