This book explores the activism promoted by organised networks of
civil society actors in opening up possibilities for more
democratic supranational governance. It examines the positive and
negative impact that such networks of civil society actors - named
"interlocutory coalitions" - may have on the convergence of
principles of administrative governance across the European legal
system and other supranational legal systems. The book takes two
main controversial aspects into account: the first relates to the
convergence between administrative rules pertaining to different
supranational regulatory systems. Traditionally, the spread of
methods of administrative governance has been depicted primarily
against the background of the interactions between the domestic and
the supranational arena, both from a top-down and bottom-up
perspective. However, the exploration of interactions occurring at
the supranational level between legal regimes is still not grounded
on adequate empirical evidence. The second controversial aspect
considered in this book consists of the role of civil society
actors operating at the supranational level. In its discussion of
the first aspect, the book focuses on the relations between the
European administrative law and the administrative principles of
law pertaining to other supranational regulatory regimes and
regulators, including the World Bank, the International Monetary
Fund, the World Trade Organization, the United Nations, the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Asian
Development Bank, and the Council of Europe. The examination of the
second aspect involves the exploration of the still little
examined, but crucial, role of civil society organised networks in
shaping global administrative law. These "interlocutory coalitions"
include NGOs, think tanks, foundations, universities, and
occasionally activists with no formal connections to civil society
organisations. The book describes such interlocutory coalitions as
drivers of harmonized principles of participatory democracy at the
European and global levels. However, interlocutory coalitions show
a number of tensions (e.g. the governability of coalitions, the
competition among them) that may hamper the impact they have on the
reconfiguration of individuals' rights, entitlements and
responsibilities in the global arena.
