Die transnationale Regulation des Freihandels

Abstract

The article describes how political regulation works at a transnational level. It argues that here a flexible network of transnational regulation emerges. As an illustration Wissel analyses the WTO and the attempt to organise a Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) inside, and outside the WTO. The example of the MAI shows how the different actors can use this flexibility to enforce their interests and to obtain the selectivity of this network.
