      abstract = {"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 standard-setting  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 empirical-based approach focusing on the mechanics of  international standard-setting. It constitutes a  multidisciplinary inquiry into the foundations of  international standard-setting, an empirically  under-researched yet important area of international  informal lawmaking. Contributors expertly examine the  peculiarities of international standardisation in selected  issue-areas and legal orders and shed light on the  attributes of international standard-setters, allowing  comparisons among standard-setting bodies with a view to  identifying best practices and improve our understanding  about standardisation processes."--},
