Description
Governance in the global economy is a topic of enormous importance. Despite the triumph of free trade, many actors still try to protect important sectors of society from the potentially destructive effects of unfettered free markets, and rules remain indispensable in settling disputes among states over trade, investments, and copyrights. This book is particularly significant because of its conceptual clarity and broad scope. Focusing on the transatlantic area as the engine of the world economy, the editors assess three different conceptual models offered by scholars: the classic state-centered approach, the transgovernmental approach, and the transnational system of private actors in an emerging global society. After a series of excellent case studies on trade and competition policies, food safety, business and labor dialogues, and civil-society initiatives, the editors conclude that "the U.S. executive and the European Commission have been and remain the dominant actors in transatlantic governance." Among all these networks, business remains the most successful. At a time when many essay collections are loosely shaped, unoriginal, or jargon-ridden, this one is a model of research and analysis.

Transatlantic Governance in the Global Economy combines a clear and compelling theoretical framework with strong and varied case studies. It tells an important story not only about transatlantic relations, but about emerging forms of global governance. Harvard Law School

This book should be required reading not only for specialists in trade and regulatory interrelationships and those interested in the transatlantic relationship, but also for all interested generally in international relations theory and practice.

This book not only provides a thorough and comprehensive review of the transatlantic economic relationship on the various levels of policy-making. It also contributes quite substantially to the emerging literature on transnational governance. Excellent scholarship!
Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse, International Relations Chair, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute
-
This book is an important contribution to the literature on transatlantic relations, and fills a genuine need. It is well-researched, well-written, and a substantive work of scholarship.
David Vogel, University of California, Berkeley
-
This book is worth reading and useful for teaching and research. It represents a successful exception to the standard expectation that edited collections of conference papers offer colourful collections of papers with some good questions but little common research.
