<p>"A definitive reference book on Global Governance. Experts and students alike will gain a great deal from reading this excellent piece of work and will learn how G20. G7/8, BRICS execute their governance role in various spheres." - <em>Prof. Maxim Bratersky, National Research University – Higher School of Economics, Russia.</em></p><p>"As the global economy has become progressively integrated, global economic problems – from climate change to financial crises – have become more interconnected as well. These global problems call for globally coherent policy responses. Such responses, in turn, call for global governance. Understanding the institutions of global governance, the determinants of compliance and policy effectiveness and an empirical framework for policy accountability are issues of first-rate importance for policy makers, academics, business leaders and all other responsible citizens. This book is a masterful collection of issues and institutions responsible for global and regional governance. The editors and authors are to be congratulated for creating an extremely insightful and important volume. It is essential reading for all those seeking to grasp how countries and regions coordinate their policies in search of mutually beneficial outcomes." - <em>Dennis Snower, </em><em>President, Kiel Institute for the World Economy</em></p><p>"Are the G7, G20, BRICS, and UN summits merely photo opportunities or do they translate pledges into tangible accomplishments? The contributors to this deeply researched volume highlight not just the extent of governmental compliance with international soft law initiatives but also the factors supporting these outcomes. Essential reading for anyone interested in the realities of 21st-century government." - <em>Professor Simon J. Evenett, University of St. Gallen</em></p>
