Multistakeholder initiatives that bring together actors from the state, the business sector \nand society to formulate, implement and/or monitor rules governing different policy fields \nhave assumed a prominent role in global governance since the 1980s. In the governance \nliterature, it is generally assumed that the actors from the three sectors have diverse interests, \nbut contribute different resources. This should allow to address transnational problems \nmore effectively. While cooperation among the various collective actors in these \ninitiatives might be based in part on complementary resources, we argue here that \nsuch cooperation is also shaped and conditioned by ideational prealignments of the participating \nactors. Such ideational prealignments are consequential, because they predetermine \n(1) the composition of multistakeholder forums in terms of which actors participate \nand which do not, (2) the processes that govern these forums, (3) the results of these \nforums and (4) the relations among the collective actors who participate in these \nforums and the stakeholders they are deemed to represent. When viewed from this perspective, \nmultistakeholder initiatives are a form of club governance that is based on ideational \nfactors. We illustrate this argument by drawing on research that examines the \nsetting of standards for private military and security companies (PMSCs)
