THE DESIGN OF COMPETITION LAW INSTITUTIONS LAW AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE SERIES Editors: AndrewHurrell,BenedictKingsbury,andRichardB.Stewart Global governance involves the exercise of power, beyond a single state, to influ- ence behaviour, to generate resources, or to allocate authority. Regulatory struc- tures, and law of all kinds, increasingly shape the nature, use, and effects of such power. These dynamic processes of ordering and governance blend the extra- nationalwiththenational,thepublicwiththeprivate,thepoliticalandeconomic withthesocialandcultural.Issuesofeffectiveness,justice,voice,andinequalityin theseprocessesaregrowinginimportance.Thisseriesfeaturesexceptionalworksof original research and theory—both sector-specific and conceptual—that carry forward the serious understanding and evaluation of these processes of global governance and the role of law and institutions within them. Contributions from all disciplines are welcomed. The series aims especially to deepen scholarship and thinking in international law, international politics, comparative law and politics, and public and private global regulation. A major goal is to study governance globally, and to enrich the literature on law and the nature and effects of global governancebeyondtheNorthAtlanticregion. alsopublishedintheseries GovernancebyIndicators GlobalPowerthroughQuantificationandRankings Edited by Kevin E.
