It suggests that national and global regulation of cap-and-trade and offset markets will be required. Essays also address forest and energy policy, international development funding, international trade law, and coordinated tax policy.
Private Security, Public Order: The Outsourcing of Public Services and Its Limits This recently published book, edited by Simon Chesterman and Angelina Fisher, looks at the transformations in the nature of state authority. Specifically, it examines privatization, regulation, and accountability in the emergent field of global administrative law. Should there be limits on what governments can "outsource"? Should private actors be permitted to do traditionally "public" functions, particularly those services that impact fundamental individual human rights, such as military engagements? The book is a project of the Institute for International Law and Justice at New York University School of Law. It is published by Oxford University Press.
