Criminal law has long provided a site for understanding how a state governs or, as Max Weber would say, “organizes domination.”1 Transnational Legal Ordering of Criminal Justice offers a unique contribution to understanding how criminal law enables governance across states. Edited by Gregory Shaffer, Chancellor’s Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of California, Irvine, and Ely Aaronson, associate professor in law at the University of Haifa, this well-crafted collection brings together the flow of influential ideas on how and why criminal law crosses national borders. Read together, the eleven chapters examine a diverse set of actors involved in transnational criminal justice—or to use the editors’ phrase, it places states in their “wider ecology of national and global lawmaking” (p. 10)—established to respond to criminal activities that have actual or potential transboundary effects.2 In doing so, the book draws our attention to the recursive relationship among international, regional, national, and local lawmaking and offers a detailed and empirically rich set of case studies in a range of substantive areas, including human trafficking, money laundering, drug control, and international crimes. The collection builds on Terence C. Halliday and Shaffer’s earlier work on transnational legal orders (TLOs).3 In line with this work, TLOs are defined as a “collection of formalized legal norms and associated organizations and actors that authoritatively order the understanding and practice of law across national jurisdictions” (p. 123, quotation omitted). Each of the chapters skillfully deploys TLOs as a theoretical framework to draw our attention to the formation, institutionalization, normative settlement, concordance, and indeed decline or inertia of transnational criminal justice regimes. In their chapter on the influence of the United Nations Universal Periodic Review on state responses to sexual violence, Ron Levi and Ioana Sendroiu state that “research on transnational legal orders provides a fundamentally global approach to understanding legal change” (p. 333). Prompted by this insight, this review focuses on this picture of global legal change. In particular, I read Transnational Legal Ordering of Criminal Justice in an effort to identify the sites where transnational criminal lawmaking is happening: temporally, geopolitically, and substantively. It is in making visible these legal coordinates that Shaffer and Aaronson’s book offers groundbreaking insights into the current role of criminal law in transnational governance. One of the book’s many strengths lies in the breadth, depth, and empirical rigor of its case * The title has been corrected since original publication.

刑事司法的跨国法律秩序。作者：格雷戈里·谢弗和伊利·亚伦森。英国剑桥：剑桥大学出版社，2020 年。十六，394。索引。

长期以来，刑法一直为了解国家如何治理提供了一个网站，或者正如马克斯·韦伯所说，“组织统治”。1 刑事司法的跨国法律秩序为了解刑法如何实现跨州治理提供了独特的贡献。由加州大学欧文分校法律与政治学教授 Gregory Shaffer 和海法大学法学副教授 Ely Aaronson 编辑，这本精心制作的合集汇集了关于如何以及为什么具有影响力的思想流刑法跨越国界。一起阅读，这 11 章考察了参与跨国刑事司法的各种不同的行为者——或者用编辑的话来说，它将国家置于“更广泛的国家和全球立法生态系统”中（第 10 页）。10)——旨在应对具有实际或潜在跨界影响的犯罪活动。2 在此过程中，本书提请我们注意国际、区域、国家和地方立法之间的递归关系，并提供了一套详细且经验丰富的一系列实质性领域的案例研究，包括人口贩运、洗钱、药物管制和国际犯罪。该集合建立在 Terence C. Halliday 和 Shaffer 早期关于跨国法律命令 (TLO) 的工作3 上。根据这项工作，TLO 被定义为“权威地命令理解和实践的正式法律规范和相关组织和参与者的集合国家司法管辖区的法律”（第 123 页，引文省略）。每一章都巧妙地将 TLO 用作理论框架，以引起我们对跨国刑事司法制度的形成、制度化、规范性解决、一致性以及实际上的衰落或惰性的关注。Ron Levi 和 Ioana Sendroiu 在他们关于联合国普遍定期审议对国家应对性暴力的影响的章节中指出，“对跨国法律秩序的研究提供了一种从根本上理解法律变革的全球方法”（第 333 页）。在这种洞察力的推动下，本次审查重点关注全球法律变革的这幅图景。特别是，我阅读了《刑事司法的跨国法律秩序》，以努力确定跨国刑事立法发生的地点：时间上、地缘政治上和实质上。正是在使这些法律坐标可见的过程中，谢弗和阿伦森的书对刑法在跨国治理中的当前作用提供了开创性的见解。这本书的众多优势之一在于其案例的广度、深度和经验严谨性 * 自最初出版以来，标题已更正。详细说明此更改的更正通知也已发布（DOI：https://doi.org/10.1017/ajil.2021.62）。1 Max Weber, Politics as a Vocation, in FROM MAX WEBER: ESSAYS IN SOCIOLOGY (Hans Heinrich Gerth & C.
