Non-state actors as standard setters : framing the issue in an interdisciplinary fashion / Anne Peters, Lucy Koechlin, and Gretta Fenner Zindernagel -- Local and regional non-state actors on the margins of public policy in Africa / Dieter Neubert -- Conceptualising the use of public-private partnerships as a regulatory arrangement in critical information infrastructure protection / Dan Assaf -- Standard setting at the cutting edge : an evidence-based typology for multi-stakeholder initiatives / Lucy Koechlin and Richard Calland -- New standards for and by private military companies? / Lindsey Cameron -- Governance matters VII : aggregate and individual governance indicators, 1996-2007 / Daniel Kaufmann, Aart Kraay, and Massimo Mastruzzi -- Contending with illicit power structures : a typology / Michael Miklaucic -- Democratic governance beyond the state : the legitimacy on non-state actors as standard setters / Steven Wheatley -- Legitimacy, accountability and polycentric regulation : dilemmas, trilemmas and organisational response / Julia Black -- Accountability of transnational actors : is there scope for cross-sector principles? / Monica Blagescu and Robert Lloyd -- Non-state environmental standards as a substitute for state regulation? / Marcus Schaper -- Limiting violence : culture and the constitution of public norms : with a case study from a stateless area / Till Förster -- Standard setting for capital movements : reasserting sovereignty over transnational actors? / Peter Hägel -- Certification as a new private global forest governance system : the regulatory potential of the Forest Stewardship Council / Stéphane Guéneau -- Private standards in the north : effective norms for the south? / Eva Kocher -- International corporate social responsibility standards : imposing or imitating business responsiblity in Lithuania? / Egle Svilpaite -- Legal pluralism under the influence of globalisation : a case study of child adoption in Tanzania / Ulrike Wanitzek -- Towards non-state actors as effective, legitimate, and accountable standard setters / Anne Peters, Till Förster, and Lucy Koechlin.

This analysis of 'globalised' standard-setting processes draws together insights from law, political sciences, sociology and social anthropology to assess the authority and accountability of non-state actors and the legitimacy and effectiveness of the processes. The essays offer new understandings of current governance problems, including environmental and financial standards, rules for military contractors and complex public-private partnerships, such as those intended to protect critical information infrastructure. The contributions also evaluate multi-stakeholder initiatives (such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative), and discuss the constitution of public norms in stateless areas. A synopsis of the latest results of the World Governance Indicator, arguably one of the most important surveys in the area today, is included.
