| Summary |
"Ruling the World? Constitutionalism, International Law, and Global Governance provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the major developments and central questions in debates over international constitutionalism at the United Nations, European Union, World Trade Organization, and other sites of global governance. The essays in this volume explore controversial empirical and normative questions, doctrinal and structural issues, and questions of institutional design and positive political theory. Ruling the World grows out of a three-year research project that brought leading scholars from around the world together to create a comprehensive and integrated framework for understanding international constitutionalization." |
|
"Ruling the World is the first volume to explore in a crosscutting way constitutional discourse across international regimes, constitutional pluralism, and relations among transnational and domestic constitutions. The volume examines the fundamental assumptions and critical challenges in contemporary debates over international constitutionalization."--BOOK JACKET |
