Title: Introduction: the development of Global Administrative Law
Abstract: Richard B. Stewart has classified global regulators into four basic types:(1) formal treaty-based international or intergovernmental organizations (such as the WTO, the Security Council, the World Bank, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change regime); (2) transnational networks of domestic regulatory officials (such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision); (3) private regulatory bodies (such as international sports federations, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, and the Forest Stewardship Council, constituted by non-state actors, including business firms, trade and professional associations, and NGOs); and (4) hybrid public-private regulatory bodies (such as the International Conference on Harmonisation of technical requirements for registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, the World Anti-doping Agency, ICANN, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund)) -composed of non-state actors and international organizations and/or governments. 14
