In an era of increased reliance on private regulatory bodies and globalised economic activity, standardisation is the field where politics, technical expertise and strategic behaviour meet and interact. International standardsetting bodies exemplify the rise of transnational governance and the challenges that it brings about relating to institutional choice, legitimacy, procedural and substantive fairness or transparency. This book takes a more empiricalbased approach focusing on the mechanics of international standardsetting. It constitutes a multidisciplinary inquiry into the foundations of international standardsetting, an empirically underresearched yet important area of international informal lawmaking. Contributors expertly examine the peculiarities of international standardisation in selected issueareas and legal orders and shed light on the attributes of international standardsetters, allowing comparisons among standardsetting bodies with a view to identifying best practices and improve our understanding about standardisation processes.
