Acknowledgments
This book developed out of a seminar held at the University of Oslo in the summer of 2014. Many thanks to those who contributed to the event, including Camilla Serck-Hanssen, Andreas Follesdal, James Nickel, Howard Williams, and Adam Etinson.
We would also like to thank several institutions for financial support. The seminar leading to the book received support from MultiRights: The Legitimacy of Multi-Level Human Rights Judiciary, an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (agreement no 269841) under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013). It also received support from PluriCourts: The legitimacy of the International Judiciary, a Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway (project number 223274). Support was also provided by the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, and the Norwegian Kant Society.
We have received excellent support and advice throughout the process at Cambridge University Press; many thanks to John Berger, Fiona Allison, and Grace Morris. For efficient editorial assistance in Oslo, we would like to thank Henriette Jakobien Liesker and Mats Andreas Nielsen.
Last but not least, we express our gratitude to the authors who contributed to this volume for their commitment, patience, and professionalism.
