Consider a few of the highlights: the entry into force of NAFTA in 1994 and creation of the World Trade Organization in 1995; establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 1993 and 1994; and the Maastricht Treaty’s significant advances in the institutionalization of Europe in 1992. Even the U.N. Security Council was somehow on the rise, with the coalition it empowered to undertakethefirstGulfWarin1990.Inreadingthisimportantnewworkonglobal governance, one cannot help but recall those heady days. Rather than mere nostalgia, however, what López-Claros, Dahl and Groff offer is a firm normative accountofthewisdomofthatera–andoftheperhapsevenmorepressingneedfor such institutionalist imperatives today. Equally important, they offer a thoughtful blueprint for a re-invigorated international order and suggest why that ambitious vision–farfrommerepioushope–iswellwithinreach.” RobertB.Ahdieh,Dean&AnthonyG.BuzbeeEndowedDean’sChair, TexasA&MUniversitySchoolofLaw Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

The solution, the authors suggest, is to extend to the international level the same principles of sensible governance that exist in well-governed national systems: rule of law, legisla- tion in the common interest, an executive branch to implement such legislation, and courts to enforce it. The best protection is unified collective action, based on shared values and respect for diversity, applying widely accepted international principles to advanceuniversalhumanprosperityandwell-being.
