Synopsis

The book addresses an increasing need of 'humanizing globalization' and examines the normative capacity of new type, multi-stakeholder global regulatory processes, which recognize civil society as an important player on the global scene. By studying a concrete case of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the role of civil society in proliferation of transparency norm in oil sector, the study argues that global civil society makes international society more susceptible to normative changes and provides a way to supplement 'traditional' democracy through multi-stakeholder global regulatory mechanism.
