Reviews

'This path-breaking collection, excellently edited by Gregory Shaffer, includes theoretically sophisticated chapters by top scholars examining a variety of processes of transnational legal ordering affecting developing countries. Drawing on rich empirical materials, the authors show us how the different results of such interventions arise from a complex but understandable process involving local, national and international institutions.' David Nelken, Distinguished Research Professor of Law, Cardiff Law School 'A masterful group of scholars diagnose the ways legal ordering has become transnational. They reveal across a wide sweep of domains how we cannot understand domestic law without considering the construction, flow and recursivity of transnational norms and institutions. This intervention was born of a sustained dialogue among a community of scholars that will transform law and society research.' John Braithwaite, Distinguished Professor, Australian National University 'This work provides a rigorous approach to a phenomenon that is often asserted but rarely analyzed: the reshaping of the state's relation to its citizens through the transnational circulation of legal norms. A collaboration among an outstanding group of scholars with strong interdisciplinary credentials, Transnational Legal Ordering and State Change blends conceptual boldness with precise and careful study of specialized regulatory fields, ranging widely from intellectual property to education to utilities regulation.' Robert Howse, Lloyd C. Nelson Professor of International Law, New York University School of Law

Robert Howse, Lloyd C. Nelson Professor of International Law, New York University School of Law 'Through its rigorous conceptual framework and comprehensive case studies, this book should inspire scholars to conduct even further microanalyses of state change. It highlights the emerging need to study how transnational legal norms hybridize and cross-pollinate and how transnational legal orders reshape legal cultures and legal consciousness on the local level. In short, this major contribution is essential reading for both policymakers and scholars seeking to understand the operation and effectiveness of transnational law.' Galit A. Sarfaty, American Journal of International Law
