Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From casualties in textile factories to child slavery on cocoa farms, firms are repeatedly involved in immoral business practices. Statutory regulation as well as individual efforts to improve these circumstances are, however, limited and widely ineffective. Instead, another idea is becoming increasingly popular: private regulation that enables collective action. In a nutshell, the idea is for firms to collectively and voluntarily impose compulsory regulation on themselves in order to trigger constitutional change. This work discusses the phenomenon and the conditions under which firms are willing to engage in multi-stakeholder initiatives. In this vein, it draws on a single in-depth case study of the German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, an analysis of which reveals that such private governance institutions can evolve if actors perceive engagement to be possible, and that the frontiers of this perception can shift over time if certain conditions prevail and adjustment mechanisms are applied.

Neuware - The wicked problems of our time, e.g. environmental destruction or human rights violations, can endanger the legitimacy of firms, given that their global supply chain activities often cause these problems. While wicked problems transcend national borders and thus limit the capacity of legislative powers to enact change, corporate sustainability practices on an individual level often fail as well. Hence, the role of private governance on a collective level has become key as a response. This work discusses how private governance emerges and why firms are willing to engage in it by drawing on the case of the German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles. The findings of this work generate in-depth insights into the formation and functionality of private governance institutions.…
