Critical Acclaim
‘Cassese provides a rich introduction to the touchstones of global administrative law and its contemporary space. The author has crafted an introductory handbook for lawyers, scholars and international political scientists that provides a sound base upon which they may ground their understanding of global administrative law, the global space, and the impact of these elements on the manner in which modern states function.’
– Grant Caswell, South African Law Journal
‘It is always a pleasure and a profit to read Sabino Cassese, so wide is his knowledge and so efficient his writing. He gives us here a remarkable introduction to global administrative law, as clear on the theoretical bases of this new field of law as it is nourished by numerous enlightening concrete examples. A must-read for everyone who is interested in the legal globalization matter.’
– Jean-Bernard Auby, Sciences Po Paris, France
‘Sabino Cassese shows in his book the deep structure, resilience, and promise of global administrative law. While many have diagnosed a return to state-centered legalism and politics, he shows that world society, though fragmented, is here to stay and, with it, a global administrative law that is worth developing. Cassese, perhaps the most knowledgeable person on public law issues worldwide, traces paths that should be considered carefully. His book’s thoroughness, optimism and universalism make it a rewarding read.’
