Reconceptualizing first what constitutes “transnational enforcement,” Eilstrup-Sangiovanni and Sharman then argue that the failure of states to implement worldwide regulation, together with the emergence of latest applied sciences and new authorized treatments have supplied the area for transnational actors’ forceful motion. In-depth case research of environmental safety and anti-corruption present successfully how NGO enforcement has gained higher salience up to now many years.

The facility of this text lies in its distinct capability to handle a query of very clear coverage significance whereas partaking in first-rate social science expertise: conceptual evaluation, principle constructing, and case research improvement.
