Publisher's description: Arguing that legal rules can be implemented beyond national boundaries, this volume examines compliance beyond the nation-state. Four contributors compare compliance with regulations that have been formulated in a very similar way at different levels of governance. They demonstrate that nation states do not necessarily display the best compliance records and that a high degree of legalization, verification and sanctioning systems seem to be more important. - Съдържа: Introduction: Law and compliance at different levels / Michael Zurn -- The analysis of compliance with international rules : definitions, variables, and methodology / Jurgen Neyer and Dieter Wolf -- State aid control at the national, European, and international level / Dieter Wolf -- Domestic limits of supranational law : comparing compliance with European and international foodstuffs regulations / Jurgen Neyer -- Politics of intergovernmental redistribution : comparing compliance with European and federal redistributive regulations / Jurgen Neyer -- Conclusions : the conditions of compliance / Michael Zurn and Jurgen Neyer -- Compliance research in legal perspectives / Christian Joerges.*
