International organizations and other global governance bodies often make rules and decisions without input from many of the individuals, groups, firms, and governments that are affected by them. The standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, for instance, developed by a small number of states, govern financial markets and the safety of bank deposits in over a hundred jurisdictions. Historically, the interests of developing countries, as well as non-commercial and diffuse interests within countries, have been excluded or disregarded in global governance. Scholars and practitioners have criticised this democratic deficit and called for greater participation of such marginalized stakeholders. Against this background, international institutions have introduced a variety of reforms with the goal of increasing and facilitating the participation of these excluded stakeholders.This book brings together an expert group of scholars and practitioners to investigate the consequences of stakeholder participation reforms in the global governance of health and finance: What reforms have been introduced? Have these reforms given previously marginalized stakeholders a voice in global governance bodies? What effect have these reforms had on the legitimacy and effectiveness of global governance? To answer these questions, the book examines treaty-based intergovernmental organizations alongside newer forms of global governance such as trans-governmental regulatory networks, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and private standard setting bodies. Through a series of paired comparative analyses, the book provides insights into the experiences of large emerging and smaller or lower income developing countries (Brazil v. Argentina, China v. Vietnam, India v. the Philippines) in a diverse set of organizations, including the World Bank and the World Health Organization, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the International Accounting Standards Board, Codex Alimentarius Commission and more.

Patterns of Transversal Governance offers the first comprehensive comparative account of how modern states restructure policymaking to address increasingly complex, cross-sectoral public problems. Drawing on an original dataset covering 13 OECD countries and four major policy fields, environment, health, migration, and unemployment, between 1980 and 2014, the book shows how governments have progressively adopted reforms that integrate policy goals and coordinate administrative organizations across traditional sectoral boundaries. The book introduces transversal governance as a conceptual lens for understanding this structural transformation; it argues that policy integration and administrative coordination have become essential responses to two powerful forces reshaping contemporary governance: the denationalization of authority through delegation to supranational, international, and subnational bodies, and the growing fragmentation of the state driven by New Public Management and specialized agencies. These dynamics do not hollow out national governments but often trigger efforts to recenter political authority through cross-cutting reforms. Through a combination of large-N statistical analyses and in-depth case studies of the United Kingdom and France, the book uncovers the political and institutional mechanisms behind transversal reforms and demonstrates how multilevel governance, partisan motivations, and problem pressure drive transversal governance reforms that integrated policy instruments and coordinate administrative organizations. Offering a unified theoretical framework, rich empirical evidence, and clear implications for both scholarship and practice, Patterns of Transversal Governance provides a groundbreaking understanding of how states adapt to govern in an era of complexity, interdependence, and multilevel politics.Transformations in Governance is a major academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, and environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states to supranational institutions, subnational governments, and public-private networks. It brings together work that advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars.The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.

This book provides a concise overview of regulation, the primary mode of modern governance by, within, and beyond the state. Martino Maggetti delves into the fundamental concepts and theoretical frameworks underpinning the study of regulation, charting its historical evolution, current practices, and evolving complexities.Adopting a comparative approach, Maggetti analyzes public, private, and hybrid forms of regulation in the context of diverse countries and sectors. Chapters discuss the roles of regulatory agencies and networks, reflecting on performance and evaluating alternatives to traditional regulation such as nudges. They address critical issues relating to distrust and populism, considering their impact alongside the emerging challenges presented by artificial intelligence and the ecological transition. Ultimately, the book highlights the need for adaptive, experimental, participative, and context-sensitive approaches to regulation and governance, underscoring the crucial role these frameworks play in modern society.Introduction to Regulation and Governance is an essential resource for students and scholars of political science, public policy, public administration, law and economics. Its practical insights are also beneficial to policymakers, civil servants, and international policy officers.

This volume breaks new ground in addressing a number of critical issues confronting contemporary comparative politics, including the increasing interdependence of countries in the era of enhanced globalization, different levels of political authority and structures of governance, the search for elegant parsimonious explanation and the possibilities for a real accumulation of knowledge. The contributions all problematize comparative politics in ways that have not been done before and add remarkable insight for scholars in the field. This is highly recommended.'- Todd Landman, University of Nottingham, UK and author of Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics (Routledge 2000, 2003, 2008, 2016)'The challenges that comparative politics faces have, in most cases, been discussed as fragmented and separate treatments. Rarely are they presented systematically and in an encompassing manner, as in the present volume, which covers a variety of subdisciplines. The editors and contributors should be complimented for offering methodologists and empirical comparativists a structured and integrated volume in which the various challenges are not only discussed in depth, but also linked together, rather than in isolation.'- Daniele Caramani, University of Zurich, SwitzerlandWhat are the conceptual and methodological challenges facing comparative politics today? This informative book discusses four main challenges that create stress for disciplinary reproduction and advancement, while providing potential solutions.In seven chapters, the contributors cover the most pressing issues: the dissolution of the nation-state as the main objective of inquiry; the increasing complexity of concepts and methods; the capacity to accumulate knowledge; and the tensions between parsimonious and contextually rich explanations.Scholars and students of comparative politics, international relations and political science will be interested in the up-to-date overview of pertinent conceptual problems, as well as the possible ways forward. Practitioners and decision-makers will find the real-world examples provided in this book useful to their work.Contributors: D. Braun, O.Giraud, D. Jahn, D. Kuebler, M. Maggetti, S. Stephan
