About the Authors
  • This path-breaking collection analyses the dialectic between legal and constitutional innovations intended to inscribe corporate power and market disciplines in world order, and the potential for challenges and alternative frameworks of governance to emerge. It provides a comprehensive approach to neo-liberal constitutionalism and regulation and limits to policy autonomy of states, and how this disciplines populations according to the intensifying demands of corporations and market forces in global market civilization. Contributors examine global and local public policy challenges and consider if the ongoing crises of capitalism and world order offer states and societies opportunities to challenge this loss of policy autonomy and potentially to refashion world order. Integrating approaches to governance and world order from both leading and emerging scholars, this is an innovative, indispensable source for policy-makers, civil society organizations, professionals and students in law, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy and international relations.

    • Proposes a novel concept of new constitutionalism to capture the nature of world order under conditions of globalized capitalism, disciplinary neoliberalism and market civilization
    • Develops a wide-ranging and innovative understanding of global governance, law and political economy that is able to explain seemingly contradictory trends and forces
    • Identifies significant potential for resistance to neoliberalism, assisting policymakers and members of civil society organizations to identify important points of access to policy processes

    Reviews & endorsements

    "The concept of "the new constitutionalism" informs a distinctive, critical approach to the study of contemporary global governance that emphasizes concrete attempts to institutionalize neo-liberalism. This volume provides a welcome introduction to the range and depth of the scholarship that adopts this approach."
    Craig N. Murphy, M. Margaret Ball Professor of International Relations, Wellesley College and Research Professor of Global Governance, University of Massachusetts, Boston

    "… a comprehensive overview of work on new constitutionalism in a single volume."
    Tore Fougner, International Affairs
