About the Book

"Transnational Contract Governance: Power, Politics, and the Law" edited by A. Claire Cutler examines the critical intersection of politics, law, and global governance in a rapidly transnationalizing political economy. This volume offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the role of transnational contracts and private governance that spans various sectors of economic activity. It focuses on the emergence of new forms of global governance, particularly through transnational contractual practices, institutions, and laws.

Key Themes:

• Transnational Governance: The book explores how global governance is shifting through new forms of transnational contracts, and how these contracts are becoming essential mechanisms for regulating various sectors in the global economy.

• Political Foundations: By placing power at the center of its analysis, the volume critically engages with the political foundations of transnational contract governance, highlighting how political theory and legal theory must adapt to this new form of governance.

• Interdisciplinary Approach: The volume includes contributions from scholars across law, political science, sociology, and international relations, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary global legal and political dynamics.

• Normative Dimensions: The book also examines the normative and analytical aspects of private transnational governance, shedding light on the complex legal and political dimensions of this evolving phenomenon.
