Dear colleagues, Please pardon the blatant self-promotion, but I wanted to alert you to my new book, *Rethinking Private Authority: Agents and Entrepreneurs in Global Environmental Governance, *which was recently published by Princeton University Press.
A brief description follows, along with a link to the PuP page. "The most important book yet written on private authority in world politics" according to one IR scholar, this book examines the role of non-state actors in global environmental politics, arguing that a fuller understanding of their role requires a new way of conceptualizing private authority. It identifies two forms of private authority—one in which states delegate authority to private actors, and another in which entrepreneurial actors generate their own rules, persuading others to adopt them. Using new data compiled from the environmental arena, it examines the trajectory of private authority over the past century. It offers a “compelling supply-and-demand account of when particular forms of private authority are likely to appear.” Two case studies on climate change demonstrate provide a history of private authority in the climate regime, and additional evidence in support of the theory.
