Transnational Policing FIFA and Its Agreements

This book demonstrates how globalization or transnational governance affects everyone through an analysis of the FIFA agreements. It examines actors outside state boundaries and how they are influencing decisions that affect various aspects of public life inside state borders through the study of contracts and agreements signed by the state with transnational private actors. It illustrates how such agreements enable actors outside state territories (who have not been voted into power) come to shape and influence how public services are distributed. The reader will come away with the knowledge on how actions at the global level impact on life at the local level.
