Making Law Work focuses on three exciting and empowering newer developments in environmental governance and sustainable development: (1) the increasing use of indicators as part of a movement to a more empirical, data-driven systems approach, with feedback loops and adaptation; (2) the rise of trans governmental networks as a new vision of global environmental governance, with the component institutions of States (regulators, judges, enforcement officials, etc.) interacting directly with their peers around the world; and (3) the "Porter hypothesis" demonstrating that States can design, implement, and strictly enforce the right kinds of laws and save money, potentially even making a profit for the regulated firms because of technological innovation.
In addition to pulling together some of the best existing literature from authors such as Ronald Mitchell, Kal Raustiala, Clifford Rechtschaffen, Peter Sand, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Oran Young, and others, Making Law Work features original works by several leading practitioners, including: K. Madhava Sarma, Elizabeth Mrema, Carl Bruch, Romina Picolotti, David Hunter, Annette Killmer, Georges Kremlis, Jan Dusik, Paul Leinster, Jim Gray, Chris Howes, Rosie Clark, Michael Stahl, Lawrence Pratt, and Carolina Mauri.
