"A very important and interesting book, this is a first-rate collection of contributions by some of the best-known analysts of global politics on the implications of 'global governance' in the new world order." Development and Change "Attempts to carve out a definitive understanding of global governance empirically and analytically ... This aim, and the quality of the individual chapters, make this an important text." Political Studies Review "David Held and Anthony McGrew have assembled a first-rate book that explores the meaning, scope and sources of global governance. Together the chapters offer an excellent guide to the debates on the extent to which globalization has been governed and on how it should be governed better." Michael W. Doyle, Princeton University "This volume provides the reader with an impressive range of conceptual as well as empirical perspectives on global governance. A timely and very useful contribution to an oftentimes ambiguous debate." Wolfgang H. Reinicke, Global Public Policy Institute "A very important and enormously interesting book, this is a first rate collection of contributions by some of the best known analysts of global politics on the implications of 'global governance' in the new world order."
