The increasing transnationalisation of regulation - and social life
more generally - challenges the basic concepts of legal and
political theory today. One of the key concepts being so challenged
is authority. This discerning book offers a plenitude of resources
and suggestions for meeting that challenge. Chapters by leading
scholars from a wide variety of disciplines confront the limits of
traditional state-based conceptions of authority, and propose new
frameworks and metaphors. They also reflect on the methodological
challenges of the transnational context, including the need for
collaboration between empirical and conceptual analysis, and the
value of historicising authority. Examining the challenge offered
by transnational authority in a range of specific contexts,
including security, accounting, banking and finance, and trade,
Authority in Transnational Legal Theory analyzes the relations
between authority, legitimacy and power. Furthermore, this book
also considers the implications of thinking about authority for
other key concepts in transnational legal theory, such as
jurisdiction and sovereignty. Comprehensive and engaging, this book
will appeal to both legal academics and students of law. It will
also prove invaluable to political scientists and political
theorists interested in the concept of authority as well as social
scientists working in the field of regulation. Contributors
