Abstract
This volume analyzes recent trends in global crime governance and focuses, in particular, on the varying and changing roles of non-state actors therein. One among the many instruments employed in global crime governance is public international law, that is the formal legal order regulating inter-state relations. While recent research on global regulation suggests that international rules increasingly rely on soft or informal instruments and are regularly established in partnership between public and private actors (Abbott and Snidal 2009) this chapter intentionally adopts an exclusive focus on formal public international law and its primary sources, custom and treaty. And it argues that global crime governance has led to a fundamental transformation of this system of law.
