Abstract
This paper addresses two areas largely understudied by scholars of transnational governance. To start with I am interested in analyzing structural patterns in the interaction of different sites of governance in contemporary
transnational affairs and their normative implications. While the proliferation of transnational rule-systems is increasingly well studied and the institutional density of transnational governance is no longer disputed our empirical and analytical knowledge about the actual patterns of interaction between competing and
complementary rule systems is still an emerging field And we have even less statured information on the policy and normative implication that may derive from patterns of interaction between different contributions to transnational governance over time.
Secondly, my interest in patterns of transnational governance relates less to the norm-setting aspect which so far has emerged as the dominant field of studies. Rather I focus on the resolution of disputes in socio-economic affairs. While by now we do have quite some knowledge about the emergence of standards, norms and rules in the triangle between states, firms and civil society organizations our knowledge about the ways in which conflicts and disputes are settled in transnational governance lags significantly behind.
In the present cases of dispute resolution in the areas of commerce and sports we are confronted with two quite different structural settings (commerce: decentral; sports: central). In both cases a focus on patterns of interaction
between public and private institutions accounts not only for the respective structures, but also is necessary to better understand the respective policy implication.
