From home mortgages to i-phones, basic elements of our daily lives
depend on international economic markets. The astonishing
complexity of these exchanges may seem ungoverned. Yet the global
economy remains deeply bound by rules. Far from the staid world of
treaties and state-to-state diplomacy, economic governance
increasingly relies on a different class of international market
regulation - soft law - comprised of voluntary standards, best
practices, and recommended guidance created by a motley assortment
of international organizations. Voluntary Disruptions argues that
international soft law is deeply political, shaping the winners and
losers of globalization. Some observers focus on soft law's
potential to solve problems and coordinate market participants.
Voluntary Disruptions widens the discussion, shifting attention to
the ways soft law provides new political resources to some groups
while not to others and alters the sites of contestation and the
actors who participate in them. Highlighting two mechanisms -
legitimacy claims and arena expansion - the book explains how soft
law, typically viewed as limited by its voluntary nature, disrupts
and transforms the politics of economic governance. Using financial
regulation as its laboratory, Voluntary Disruptions explains the
remarkable pre-crisis alignment of US and European approaches to
governing markets, the rise and prominence of transnational
industry associations in the 1990s and 2000s, and the ambivalence
of US reforms towards international market cooperation in the wake
of the 2008 financial crisis. Rethinking scholarly and policy
approaches to international soft law, this volume answers enduring
and pressing questions about global finance, International
Relations, and power. Transformations in Governance is a major new
academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed
to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative
politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, and
environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of
authority from central states to supranational institutions,
subnational governments, and public-private networks. It brings
together work that advances our understanding of the organization,
causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The
series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of
exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The
series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University
of Oxford.
