Review
'... a very valuable step towards embracing a more comprehensive view of the complexity of developments in national, international and transnational law ... Private Power and Global Authority deserves to be highlighted in many respects ... a much needed study in internal relations. It is, in fact, more precisely a crucial report on international affairs.' EJIL
'... constitutes a very valuable step towards embracing a more comprehensive view of the complexity of developments in national, international and transnational law ... a worthy attempt to visit and revisit the traditional approaches with which we have all been trained and professionalized ... Private Power and Global Authority deserves to be highlighted in many respects ... a much-needed study ... a crucial report on internal affairs ...'. European Journal of International Law
'What is interesting, and of high academic importance, is the way in which the author transcends the mere description of the transnational merchant law and places it into its true historical perspective.' Uniform Law Review
Book Description
Claire Cutler's critical analysis of the role that international economic law plays in the creation and maintenance of global power relations examines the historical and contemporary evolution of merchant law. She concludes that private interests have governed global economic relations through practices that are little understood. Interdisciplinary in scope, this study draws upon international relations and law, international political economy and political and legal theories. It will be an important first step toward developing a critical understanding of the political foundations of transnational merchant law.
