Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Dissertation, Westfälische-Wilhelms Universität Münster, 2018 "This book aims to answer a simple question: does private governance work? Can the use of market-driven, voluntary mechanisms compel value chain actors to change their practices in the direction of greater sustainability? And if yes, why are some standards more successful in that mission than others? This book thus evaluates market-driven regulatory governance initiatives' effectiveness in leading to sustained behavioral change in line with the original institutional goals of resolving collective environmental and social problems (cf. Black, 2008). It identifies institutional design features that are more likely to contribute to such effectiveness, as well as flaws in regulatory design and implementation that limit the potential of private standards in achieving their mission. With this aim, it connects five elements related to the effectiveness of private governance. First, it defines institutional effectiveness by identifying the outcome goals of market-driven sustainability governance." |
