Toward regenerative capitalism? The remaking of corporate sustainability in times of crises
Noticias en el móvil. La sinuosa relación de los jóvenes con la información
Los y las jóvenes consideran en su mayoría que tienen un consumo “adictivo” de sus teléfonos celulares: allí juegan, navegan en Internet y en las redes sociales, compran, venden, interactúan y se informan. Los y las jóvenes −a quienes ubicamos para este estudio en el segmento de 18 a 29 años− son el objeto del deseo de las industrias del entretenimiento, la comunicación y la información. Pero el comportamiento que tienen es sinuoso y receloso: de…
Global governance through voluntary sustainability standards
Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) are transnational governance instruments that can be leveraged to pursue sustainable development in global value chains. They have proliferated since the 1990s in terms of their number and the share of global production they govern. This paper shares some key insights arising from the considerable body of literature that has analysed the role of these instruments for sustainable production and trade. First…
Jurisdictional approaches to sustainable agro-commodity governance
The production and trade of primary agro-commodities drive significant land use change, with profound consequences for the planet and people. In a special report on climate change and land, the International Panel on Climate Change (2019) warned that any pathway aimed at limiting global warming to within 2 °C requires reduced carbon emissions and land use change. The destruction of natural ecosystems also carries significant implications for the …
Smart mix politics
The European Union and other advanced economies are turning to mandatory due diligence regulation to address environmental and human rights risks in their global supply chains. This shift is accompanied by calls for ‘smart regulation’ that combines public legislation with private governance instruments and new supporting measures in the producer countries of the Global South. We study the smart regulation agenda in the case of the European Union …
Voluntary standards and the SDGs
To strengthen global sustainability governance, academics and policymakers have called for a better integration of private governance with public policy instruments. Surprisingly, however, systematic research on the state of such public-private complementarities in the field of sustainable development is lacking. With a focus on voluntary sustainability standards and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this article address…
Prácticas informativas en tiempos de Covid-19
Este artículo se propone indagar en las prácticas de consumo informativo respecto del COVID-19 en las provincias del norte de la Patagonia argentina durante el período de Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio que decretó el gobierno nacional. Mediante el análisis de dos encuestas realizadas por el Observatorio de Comunicación y Temáticas Sociales (FadeCS-UNCo), interesa conocer la relación entre el funcionamiento de los medios y soportes co…
Missing the Bigger Picture
Transparency in transnational governance
The rise of “new” transnational governance has intensified debates about a lack of accountability in global politics. Reviewing the mechanisms through which transparency can foster accountability beyond the state, this article explores the determinants of information disclosure in the field of transnational sustainability governance. Examining the institutional design of 113 voluntary sustainability programs, we find a positive correlation betwee…
Comunicación mediática y noticias regionales. La televisión pública en Río Negro
El objetivo del presente artculo es comprender el sentido de las polticas de comunicacin respecto del canal provincial de televisin por parte de los gobiernos de la provincia de Ro Negro desde la finalizacin de la Unin Transitoria de Empresas con Artear hasta 2015.

Varieties of multi-stakeholder governance
Multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) are often referred to as the ‘gold standard’ of private governance. However, existing MSIs vary strongly in their institutional designs and the ways in which they use inclusiveness, procedural fairness and, expert-based strategies to create legitimacy for their rules. This article investigates these institutional choices. It reviews arguments about demand from legitimacy-granting audiences, isomorphic pressure…
Emerging markets and private governance
Private governance programs are now an important source of regulation in global value chains – particularly in context of North–South trade. But can these programs play a similar role in the value chains feeding into fast-growing emerging markets like China and India? Most scholars doing research on the topic draw a pessimistic picture. They argue that the scope conditions for private sustainability governance are not yet present in these markets…
Tracing Failure of Coral Reef Protection in Nonstate Market-Driven Governance
Institutional failure remains an important blind spot in the private governance literature. In this article we argue that a focus on scope conditions alone cannot explain why some programs thrive while others cease to exist. Studying the now-defunct Marine Aquarium Council—a certification program for coral reef protection—we adopt an institutional-process approach to fill this gap. Our main points can be summarized in a two-step argument: First, …
Private regulation and global economic change
What determines the uptake of private sustainability regulation in developing countries? Existing studies point to the local context as the key explanatory factor. In particular, they identify local program characteristics, industry structures, and the regulatory environment as variables influencing program uptake at the point of production. However, examining two very similar certification programs in Brazil's soy and sugarcane industries, this …
Private Governance Undermined
Are emerging markets undermining private environmental governance? In the past, most trade in agricultural commodities occurred between developed and developing countries, but in recent years the volume of South-South trade has increased significantly. The booming demand from emerging markets for food, feed, and fiber is now a key driver behind agricultural expansion, causing large-scale deforestation and biodiversity loss in the tropics. By exam…
Orchestrating sustainability
This article provides an empirical analysis of orchestration – that is, the initiation, support, and embracement of private governance arrangements through public regulators – in the field of E uropean U nion biofuel governance. It examines the emerging sustainability regime and shows that orchestration has been extensively practiced. Regulators in the E uropean U nion have used a range of directive and facilitative measures to initiate and suppo…
