Transnational Business Governance And The Management Of Natural Resources, Virginia Haufler
Transnational Business Governance And The Management Of Natural Resources, Virginia Haufler
Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers
In the last two decades, the international community has intervened directly to reduce the conflict and corruption that accompany natural resource development in weakly governed states. These efforts converge on the norm of information disclosure by a number of different transnational business governance initiatives. This article examines how the successive failures of public and private efforts led to patterns of convergence and divergence in the transnational governance of the extractive sector. The timing of the effort, combined with variation in industry structure, differences in the targets of information disclosure, and learning over time influence the outcome in each case. This …
Iso 26000: Bridging The Public/Private Divide In Transnational Business Governance Interactions, Kernaghan Webb
Iso 26000: Bridging The Public/Private Divide In Transnational Business Governance Interactions, Kernaghan Webb
Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers
This paper explores the proposition that the ISO 26000 social responsibility guidance standard represents an innovative form of global social responsibility (SR) rule instrument that performs five key distinctive bridging functions in addressing public and private transnational business governance interactions: (1) top down transpositions of key concepts from inter-‐governmental instruments directed at first instance at states into a non-‐state global SR rule instrument applying directly to transnational corporations (TNCs) and other organizations; (2) bottom up transpositions of key concepts from non-‐state SR instruments of narrow focus to apply more broadly to all SR activities; (3) innovations in the standards development …
Transnational Business Governance Interactions And Technical Systems In Global Finance, Tony Porter
Transnational Business Governance Interactions And Technical Systems In Global Finance, Tony Porter
Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers
Most transnational regulatory problems involve technical systems: extended sets of productive connections between humans, organized knowledge, and material objects. The functioning and relations between transnational business governance (TBG) schemes in any particular issue area are usually shaped by these technical systems. These technical systems and the material world that they interact with are not simply exogenous environments for tBG schemes. Individual TBG schemes can enhance their power and influence by expanding their function in a technical system, by incorporating the material aspects of the system into their activities, or by producing the system's technical knowledge. I hypothesize that where a …

The Architecture Of Transnational Private Regulation, Fabrizio Cafaggi
Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers
Conflicting interests among private actors constitute an important factor to explain why and how transnational private regulation has grown and the proliferation of standards and standard setting organizations that has followed. This essay provides a map of transnational regulatory space suggesting that the different levels are related to various governance responses to conflicts within the private sphere and between private and public actors.Three levels of the global regulatory space are considered: (1) the single global regulatory body, where interests are integrated into one organization, (2) the regime, in which multiple organizations operate, regulating within the same policy field, (3) multiple …
