Preface


International lawmaking has expanded and diversified greatly over the past decades.
This has led us to the view that there would be room for a book that takes stock ­ at the
conceptual and the empirical level ­ of the instruments, processes, and participants
involved in the creation of international normativity today. This Handbook aims to do
just that.
We are grateful to the scholars and experts who have contributed excellent chapters
that offer overviews and analytical insights in contemporary international lawmaking.
The plan for the Handbook was heartily supported by Edward Elgar Publishing. We
are indebted to the editorial staff of Edward Elgar for their unflinching assistance. We
also thank Ms Annika van Beek, LLM UvA, for valuable editorial assistance.
Gratitude is finally due to our home institutions, the University of Amsterdam and
the University of Leiden, for providing the institutional setting which has enabled us to
work on this project.
