Examines costs, benefits, and problems of corporatist arrangements involving NGOs, business, national governments, and international institutions created for participation in global decision-making, and in response to exponential growth in the number of NGOs.

This article assesses the recent trend of cooperation among antagonistic private actors that results in the creation & implementation of issue-specific transnational norms & rules & the subsequent shift from public to private forms of governance. Many political scientists agree that authority also exists outside of formal political structures. Private actors increasingly begin to make their own rules & standards that acquire authority beyond the international system. This observation is often referred to as private transnational governance as opposed to public or international governance. Although the concept of private governance gains prominence in academic debates, it is not clear how private governance on the global scale is constructed & maintained or what specific or general conditions are necessary for private governance to emerge. Based on the review of common theoretical propositions, this article develops an integrated model along which the necessary conditions for the emergence of private governance can be assessed & understood. As most research has hitherto focused on institutionalized cooperation between business actors (self-regulation), this article takes a closer look at those transnational systems of rule that result out of the enhanced cooperation between profit & nonprofit actors (coregulation). 52 References.

Der Klimawandel mit seinen Folgen für das Erdsystem lässt sich nur mit einer globalen Rechtsarchitektur bewältigen. Diese integriert eine Vielfalt von Steuerungsarrangements von lokaler und transnationaler Selbstregulierung in Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft über innerstaatliches Recht und horizontaler Rechtsdiffusion bis zu transnationaler Administration, internationalem Recht und Recht internationaler Organisationen. Mit einem funktions-strukturellen Ansatz ist zu untersuchen, was die einzelnen Formationen zum Klimawandel beitragen und wie sie auf klimafreundliche Ziele eingestellt werden können. Dafür sind Wechselwirkungen zwischen ihnen zu optimieren sowie geeignete Strategien und Instrumente auszuwählen. Die Realisierbarkeit wirksamer Klima-Governance hängt jedoch von den gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Einsichten und Kräfteverhältnissen ab, die vermutlich nur aus Krisen lernen. Zudem wirft sie Legitimationsprobleme auf, die sich durch Einführung prozeduraler und inhaltlicher Anforderungen an nicht-staatliche Formationen mit verfassungsrechtlichen Geboten in Einklang bringen lassen.

"Utilising sources that range from 16th century parish registers to the 21st century supermarket loyalty card, this collection examines the history and development of identification documents and surveillance techniques over the past 500 years. Combining the knowledge of several experts from a variety of disciplines, this volume successfully demonstrates how identification and registration can enable and empower a population, particularly if the interests of the state and population coincide. It also reveals the weakness of states or corporations when dealing with issues such as popular resistance and fraud, despite great leaps forward in the scientific methods of identifying individuals. This important book offers a vital contribution to the literature on a variety of topical subject areas such as biometric identification, immigration control and personal data use, as such it is of interest to students and scholars of civil and human rights amongst other disciplines"..
