Actors of Postnational Rule-Making

<p>Despite its centrality to academic discussions of power and influence there is little consensus in legal scholarship over what constitutes an actor in rule-making. This book explores the range of actors involved in rule-making within European Union law and Public International law and focuses especially on actors that are often overlooked by formative and doctrinal approaches. </p><p>Drawing together contributions from many scholars in various fields the book examines such issues as the accommodation of new actors in the process of postnational rule-making the visibility or covertness of actors within the process and the role of social acceptance and legitimacy in postnational rule-making.</p><p>In its endeavour to render and examine the work and effect of actors often side-lined in the study of postnational rule-making this book will be of great use and interest to students and scholars of EU law international law and socio-legal studies.</p>
