Due Diligence Legislation and the Politics of Implementation
The article examines the implementation of mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence regulations as a politically formative process. Integrating insights from global value chain (GVC) research with the assumptions of legal struggles and legal endogeneity, the article analyses how administrative practice shapes the meaning and boundaries of due diligence obligations. The study empirically focuses on the German supply chain due diligen…
Current Condition of the Iya in Benin City, the Gates and Future Preservation Strategies
This paper investigates the preservation and morphology of the Inner City Iya of Benin in southern Nigeria, Edo State. The Iya have been the focus of research in the 1960s and 1970s by archaeologists Graham Connah and Patrick Darling. Since then, urban development has grown rapidly spreading out across the wider Iya network and damaging the earthworks. Already more than half of the Iya within Benin City vanished. Digital archaeology methods pose …
Das Recht und intersektionale Konflikte in globalen Produktionsnetzwerken
Verstärkt durch die Folgen der Covid-19-Pandemie werden zunehmend intersektionale Dimensionen von Arbeitskonflikten in transnationalen Unternehmen und globalen Produktionsnetzwerken (GPN) diskutiert. Wir betonen in unserem Beitrag, dass Gewalt und intersektionale Ungleichheit in der Ausbeutung von Arbeit im transnationalen Kontext keine Ausnahmen darstellen, sondern vielmehr die GPN strukturell prägen. Konflikte und Gewalt entfalten sich in der h…
Transnationale Unternehmen und Konflikt. Zur Gewaltförmigkeit politisch-ökonomischer Ordnung
Politische Ökonomie
Wolfgang Streeck widmet sich in seinem Buch dem Verhltnis von Globalisierung und Demokratie. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, dass sich der demokratische Kapitalismus in einer Sackgasse befinde: Nachdem die neoliberale Hegemonie, die sich vor allem ab den 1990er-Jahren in der Hyperglobalisierung wirtschaftlich und institutionell entfaltet habe
Multiplicity, the corporation and human rights in global value chains
Human rights in global value chains have become a key field of study in international law and corporate governance. The analysis often starts with a gap – a ‘governance gap’ in human rights protection. This pragmatic starting point calls for pragmatic solutions: better corporate compliance and more accountability. While this goes a long way in addressing corporate misconduct, the global corporate form, its power and legitimation in transnationall…

Human Rights and Corporate Reinsurance
With the aim of grounding the analysis of private transnational human rights governance, the article examines how a European reinsurance company links its human rights policy to its core business of underwriting risks in the case of Belo Monte, a large hydroelectric dam in the Brazilian Amazon. Based on the current international regulatory framework, the global political economy of reinsurance is becoming a constitutive element of human rights go…
Die Pandemie offenbart die Defizite des transnationalen Menschenrechtsschutzes
Die Corona-Pandemie hat zu massiven Disruptionen globaler Lieferketten geführt und damit die Exportökonomien vieler Produktionsländer existenziell getroffen. Besonders dramatisch ist dies für die Arbeiter:innen am Anfang der Wertschöpfungskette. Die Verletzungen international anerkannter sozialer und ökonomischer Rechte in globalen Lieferketten sind heute massiver als vor der Krise und offenbaren ein weitreichendes Konfliktpotenzial. Der Beitrag …
Hunter-gatherers of the high-altitude Afromontane forest – the Holocene occupation of Mount Dendi, Ethiopia
Dendi Lake Rockshelter is situated about 100 km west of Addis Ababa on the west-central part of the Ethiopian Plateau in the Ginchi woreda of Ethiopia’s Oromiya regional state. In October 2012, a team from the University of Cologne excavated a test-trench that revealed four archaeological complexes that could clearly be distinguished on a typological basis as well as by radiocarbon dates. This article focuses on the lithic artefacts recovered fro…
The material politics of damming water
First paragraph: Hydroelectric power is on the rise. Both developed and emerging economies establish hydroelectric dams in order to make use of natural water resources, contribute to electrification, and supply energy to national industries. For their advocates, dams are a silver bullet combining three pillars of sustainable development that are often perceived as being in mutual conflict, namely, economic growth, social welfare, and ecological s…
Labour Networks under Supply Chain Capitalism
The Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety is a transnational governance approach towards implementing factory safety standards in the Bangladeshi garment sector. Some commentators argue that the Accord is a 'game changer' in times of corporate social responsibility (CSR), especially because it includes transnational buying companies in a legally binding contract with union federations. This article takes the Accord as an interesting case …
From naming and shaming to knowing and showing’
A recent phenomenon in corporate governance discourses is a strong recourse to human rights. Human rights awareness and corporate policies have become part of the credo of 'good' business. This is also taken up in international institutions, such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which assign a distinct human rights responsibility to transnational enterprises. The article interprets this transformation through…
