Nonstate Actor Inclusion and the Social Legitimacy of Global Governance Institutions
Nonstate actors play powerful roles in global governance institutions (GGIs) as advocates, experts, representatives, regulators, monitors, and implementing agents. However, the extent to which their inclusion affects the degree to which citizens find GGIs more legitimate has not been systematically investigated, nor have the conditions under which citizens might do so. In this contribution, we theoretically argue that such inclusion effectively e…
World Ordering from the Margins
This Special Forum is an invitation to reconsider the analytical toolbox with which world order has been analyzed in the past. In this introductory article, we propose to focus on processes of world ordering from the margins as a contribution to research on world-order conceptions beyond the Liberal International Order. We examine world-ordering practices by a variety of actors, across the Global North and the Global South, including activists, p…
Globalization and Business Regulation
In the twenty-first century, global business regulation has come of age. In this article, we review the literature on globalization and business regulation from the angle of transnational governance, a recently evolving interdisciplinary field of research. Despite the multiplicity and plurality of regulatory platforms and products that have emerged over time, we identify common patterns of field structuration and parallel trajectories. We argue t…
Capacitating Services and the Bottom-Up Approach to Social Investment
A crucial component of the new social investment paradigm is the provision of capacitating social services aimed at the early identification and mitigation of problems. We argue that conceiving of this paradigm change as a comprehensive and concerted investment is misguided. That perspective ignores more practical, piecemeal approaches in which costs and benefits are clarified through efforts at implementation, rather than estimated ex ante. Simi…
Services de capacitation et approche ascendante de l’investissement social
Les services de capacitation, qui ont un rôle préventif majeur en matière de protection sociale, représentent un défi pour les théories et les pratiques classiques. Les initiatives réussies en la matière sont le fait d’approches ascendantes à partir du niveau local et bénéficient d’un minimum d’autonomie. Réalisées au coup par coup, elles doivent une grande part de leur efficacité à l’apprentissage à partir de l’expérience qui leur permet de corr…
Elites on Trial
Framing standards, mobilizing users
Following the agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) intellectual property rights, and more specifically copyright, have become the subject of highly politicized conflicts. In this paper we analyze how these conflicts shifted from the political arena to private standard-setting sites, where two opposing coalitions of actors pursued competing initiatives – an industry coalition which aimed at enforcing copyright…
Capitalism in crisis
The financial crisis, which began in mid-2007 and reached a crescendo in September 2008 with the fall of Lehman Brothers and its immediate aftermath, ushered in a severe period of doubt for those who had expounded the benefits of free market capitalism.Gillian Tett, one of the Financial Times' most insightful reporters on the crisis wrote on March 10, 2009 that not only is the financial system plagued with losses of a scale nobody foresaw, but th…
Transnational Communities
Transnational communities are social groups that emerge from mutual interaction across national boundaries, oriented around a common project or 'imagined' identity. This common project or identity is constructed and sustained through the active engagement and involvement of at least some of its members. Such communities can overlap in different ways with formal organizations but, in principle, they do not need formal organization to be sustained.…

Law, expertise and legitimacy in transnational economic governance
The increasing relevance of transnational governance for the regulation of crossborder economic relations in many public policy fields has given rise to debates about its legitimacy. This paper provides an introduction to normative and empirical approaches and suggests to bridge between them by exploring normative perspectives through the views and strategies of actors practically involved in transnational governance. Based on a synthesis of cont…
Legal Professionals and Transnational Law-Making
In institutional theory, it is a challenge to explain how rule-setting occurs in transnational contexts with high rule ambiguity and distributed agency. In this article, we address this problem by arguing that emergent and deliberate institutional strategies, though often treated as exclusive opposites, need to be considered in concert. This is demonstrated by analysing transnational law-making in the context of commercial and corporate law. Tran…
Overcoming path dependency
Theoretical Building Blocks for a Research Agenda Linking Globalization and Institutions
The objective of this chapter is double. First, we take stock of the ways in which the institutionalist literature deals with issues of institutional change and institutional emergence. Then, we try to show how the connection we make between globalization and institutions opens up new theoretical directions.

From State Socialism to Market Economy-Women's Employment in East Germany
The transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market economy involves a wide-ranging redistribution of paid employment, income, and individual opportunities. Men and women in the former East Germany (GDR)-who before reunification had equal roles of participation in paid labour-have been affected in different ways by the restructuring of the East German economy. Women are now more often unemployed, and for longer periods, and face great…
