Synopsis Transnational Private Governance and its Limits by : Jean-Christophe Graz
This volume explores a variety of forms of transnational private governance where non-state actors cooperate across borders to establish rules and standards accepted as legitimate by other agents. Transnational private governance is a core feature of the devolution of power that we observe in the global realm and that is bringing about new forms of authority. Transnational Private Governance provides theoretically and empirically informed insights into the interactions between states and non-state actors including domains beyond intergovernmental organizations, conventional non-governmental organizations, and multinational enterprises, covering a wide range of arrangements, from highly formal devolutions of power to lax and informal platforms of interaction between private actors. Contributing to the latest generation of globalization studies, the authors consider the relationship between states and markets as closely integrated and seek to broaden the scope of enquiry by including new patterns and agents of change on a transnational basis. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of political science, international political economy, economics, business studies, globalisation and law.

Synopsis Transnational Business Governance Interactions by : Stepan Wood
From agriculture to sport and from climate change to indigenous rights, transnational regulatory regimes and actors are multiplying and interacting with poorly understood effects. This interdisciplinary book investigates whether, how and by whom transnational business governance interactions (TBGIs) can be harnessed to improve the quality of transnational regulation and advance the interests of marginalized actors.

Synopsis Transnational Corporations in Urban Water Governance by : Joyce Valdovinos
This book examines the role played by business in urban water governance by analyzing the evolution of the global private water sector along with four public-private partnerships in Mexico and the U.S. The local nature of water services often hides the global developments behind the rise of transnational water corporations, which have gone from being local operators to becoming dynamic and powerful actors within an interconnected transnational space for water. This book focuses on the French groups Veolia and Suez, two of the most prominent private actors in global water governance, and the development and adaptation strategies of both companies in the cities of Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Milwaukee over the past 30 years. Drawing on over 100 interviews conducted with corporate executives, public authorities, and local users of water services, this book moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of the public-private debate and develops a theoretical framework that analyzes the economic and political power wielded by transnational business actors in global water governance. Not only does the book explain how Veolia and Suez strategically mobilize resources at difference scales in order to expand their global operations, but it also provides a nuanced picture of how state regulation remains of central importance to understanding the dynamics and evolution of the global water sector. Students and scholars interested in business and the environment, including public-private partnerships, business management and transnational corporations, and water governance, will find this book of great interest as will professionals and policymakers working in these fields.

Synopsis New Web Standards in the Making by : François-Xavier Dudouet
Our paper presents empirical results of a study on the bargaining process of web XML standards in World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) arenas. Processing the 8 main mailing lists, constituted of more than 21000 mails, has led us to analyze the standardmaking process through the bargaining habits and networks of actors who take part in it. It often appears that institutions interacting the most with others directly take part in the writing of final texts, and that firms often intend (and manage !) to play a leading role in this work. In the field of internet, “networked governance refers to a growing body of research on the interconnectedness of essentially sovereign units, which examines how those interconnections facilitate or inhibit the functioning of the overall system.” (Lazer, 2007). It supposes that State actors play a big role in the construction of rules and standards, though they have to cooperate with many other actors through networked organizations. On the contrary, transnational private governance refers to “the ability of non-state actors to cooperate across borders in order to establish rules and standards of behaviour accepted as legitimate by agents not involved in their definition. Non-state actors not only formulate norms, but often also have a key role in their enforcement. Accordingly, the current privatization of rule-making and enforcement goes much further than traditional lobbying in allowing private actors an active role in regulation itself” (Graz, Nolke, 2007). In this pattern, governance is based on interconnections and interdependences which are mostly made of nonsovereign units, and public regulation by agencies or so on is reduced to a strict minimum. In our case study, the whole process from the W3C common work to the ISO struggle illustrates the ambiguity of transnational private governance: on the one hand, competition between firms is only made possible by cooperative work. On the other hand, such a relation shows its limits when firms try to convert web standards into software standards which could become quasi-monopolistic on the mass-consuming software market in the future. Unsurprisingly, the end of 'coopetition' is marked by conflicts and harsh industrial competition, which impose arbitrations and may reveal the need for public regulation such as ISO. This generates both inflexions in transnational private governance and deep transformations in the traditional interagency pattern of standardization.

Synopsis Handbook of Transnational Governance by : Thomas Hale
When we speak of global governance today, we no longer mean simple state-to-state diplomacy, international treaties, or intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of new forms of transnational governance.

Synopsis Beyond Politics by : Michael P. Vandenbergh
Private sector action provides one of the most promising opportunities to reduce the risks of climate change, buying time while governments move slowly or even oppose climate mitigation. Starting with the insight that much of the resistance to climate mitigation is grounded in concern about the role of government, this books draws on law, policy, social science, and climate science to demonstrate how private initiatives are already bypassing government inaction in the US and around the globe. It makes a persuasive case that private governance can reduce global carbon emissions by a billion tons per year over the next decade. Combining an examination of the growth of private climate initiatives over the last decade, a theory of why private actors are motivated to reduce emissions, and a review of viable next steps, this book speaks to scholars, business and advocacy group managers, philanthropists, policymakers, and anyone interested in climate change.

Synopsis Transnational Actors in Global Governance by : Christer Jönsson
The nature of global governance is changing, as are the standards by which we judge its legitimacy. We are witnessing a gradual and partial shift from inter-state co-operation to more complex forms of governance, involving participation by transnational actors, such as NGOs, party associations, philanthropic foundations and corporations.
