Legal Principles of a New World Governance

The Emergence of Global Administrative Law
¤ Benedict Kingsbury, Nico Krisch, Richard B. Stewart ¤ 20 October 2010
Emerging patterns of global governance are being shaped by a little-noticed but important and growing body of global administrative law. In this article we begin the task of identifying some patterns of commonality and connection sufficiently deep and farreaching as to constitute an embryonic field of global administrative law. We point to some factors encouraging the development of common approaches, and to mechanisms of learning, borrowing, and cross-referencing, that are contributing to (...) read more

Political Oversight of the ICANN: A Briefing for the WSIS Summit
¤ Internet Governance Project ¤ 14 April 2008
As the UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) approaches its final meeting, political oversight of Internet governance has become the paramount issue. It has also proven to be a politically charged and divisive issue, making it impossible for the 3rd Prepcom to reach an agreement. In this document we attempt to provide conceptual clarity on issues relating to political oversight. We first define political oversight and briefly assess why it might or might not be needed for (...) read more

Net Neutrality as Global Principle for Internet Governance
¤ Milton Mueller ¤ 14 April 2008
This paper discusses the concept of network neutrality and explores its relevance to global Internet governance. Internet neutrality is usually seen as a domestic regulatory issue. And in many ways it has been a domestically focused controversy, up to now. The Concept of Network Neutrality (NN) originates in a debate over the policies to be applied to broadband access networks, which are typically licensed and regulated at the national or even the state and local levels. But as a (...) read more

Organizing Globally
¤ Stuart Howard ¤ August 2006
The theme of the 41st International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) Congress held in Durban, South Africa in 2006, August, has been Organizing Globally: Fighting for Our Rights. "Is this just a catchy slogan?" asks Stuart Howard, "or does it represent an agenda to build a powerful global unionism?" As globalisation touches more workplaces in more countries, it is no longer possible to have an effective union organizing strategy in most industries without a global dimension. However, (...) read more

Firstly, water must be considered to be an economic good, a product like petroleum or corn. Secondly, access to water is a vital need, (...) read more

Oil slicks: An Ocean of Profits
¤ Roseline Vachetta ¤ 19 December 2002
If there is a sector which, both in its organization and in its results, can be seen as the poster child for capitalist globalization, it must be maritime transportation. Roseline Vachetta, a member of the Regional Policy Committee for Transport and Tourism at the European Parliament, discusses this issue here. There are some “trash-container” ships which concentrate all the ingredients and all the opacity of capitalist globalization. For example, in the case of the Prestige, we find: an (...) read more
