The Global Economic Order
The International Law and Politics of the Financial and Monetary System
Elli Louka
Exploring in depth the institutions that underpin the global economy, this study provides invaluable insights into why a minimum economic order has endured for so long and why states are unwilling to establish a maximum order, a global safety net for all. The author investigates how debt – a critical component of states’ economic infrastructure – leads to debilitating crises, and how these crises undermine the economic autonomy and political independence of states.
Edited by Maria A. Carrai, Jean-Christophe Defraigne and Jan Wouters

The Role of the EU in Transnational Legal Ordering
Standards, Contracts and Codes
Edited by Marta Cantero Gamito and Hans -W. Micklitz
This book explores questions of transnational private legal theory in the context of the external dimension of EU private law. The interaction between existing theories of transnational ordering and the external reach of European Regulatory Private Law is articulated through examination of what are found to be the three major proxies of transnational private ordering: private contracts, standards and codes.
