Cafaggi: Enforcement of Transnational Regulation: Ensuring Compliance in a Global World

Fabrizio Cafaggi (European Univ. Institute - Law) has published Enforcement of Transnational Regulation: Ensuring Compliance in a Global World (Edward Elgar Publishing 2012). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

This book addresses the different mechanisms of enforcement deployed in transnational private regimes vis-à-vis those in the field of public transnational law.

Enforcement represents a key dimension in measuring the effectiveness and legitimacy of transnational private regulation. This detailed book shifts the focus from rule-making to enforcement and compliance, and moves from a vertical analysis to a comparative sectoral analysis. Both public and private transnational regulation fall under the scrutiny of the authors, and the book considers the effectiveness of judicial models of enforcement – under international law and through national courts – and of non-judicial means. Comparisons are drawn across sectors including international commercial law, labor law, finance, Internet regulation and advertising.
