Editors Andenas (U. of Norway) and Andersen (U. of Leicester, UK) have brought together legal scholars based primarily in the UK, with a few from elsewhere (Australia, the US, Germany,
Denmark). The topic is far-reaching and increasingly important as international treaty obligations require nations to adopt and implement conforming legislation. Twenty-nine contributions
discuss issues and dilemmas association with financial markets, commercial law, and environmental law, for example, as well as general theories and comparative analyses of harmonization
mechanisms, results, regulations, directives, and implementation. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
