Zusatztext Interdisciplinary in its inception and empirical in its approach! the volume draws primarily from sociology! law! and political science to provide a through-provoking and optimistic story about the emergent potential for self-governance and private ordering to produce systems of rules and norms that increasingly-and explicitly-regulate public goods! in the public interest. The book's value is its explicitly interdisciplinary focus on empirical and legal accounts! attempting to ground governance theory in specific examples. As such! it should have wide appeal.
