The Evolution of Transnational Rule-Makers through Crises

In recent years, transnational private rule-makers have emerged and multiplied. In this book, experts from various academic disciplines offer empirically grounded case studies and theoretical insights into the evolution and resilience of these bodies through crises. Transnational private rule-makers display considerable flexibility if compared to public institutions both in exercising their rule-making functions and in adapting and transforming in light of endogenous or exogenous crisis events calling for change. The contributors identify such events and reflect on their impact on transnational private rule-makers. This edited volume covers important areas of global production and finance that are associated with private rule-making and delves into procedural, substantive, and practical elements of private rule-making processes. At a policy level, the book provides comparisons among practices of private bodies in various areas, allowing for important lessons to be drawn for all public and private stakeholders active in, or affected by, private and public rule-making.
