Meanings and practices of accountability in the international development sector
Motivation Accountability agendas have long been promoted through the policies and programmes of international development organizations around the world. Despite increasing scholarly interest in how political concepts, such as human rights, are “vernacularized” into local contexts, there has been little consideration to date of the vernacularization of ideas and practices of accountability. Purpose This study fills this gap by exploring the vern…

The Representation of Cross-Border Surrogacy in Australian Surrogacy Events
As a method of family formation, cross-border surrogacy is controversial and beset by risks of exploitation. This article extends the literature on surrogacy by examining the way Australian surrogacy promotion and information events represent cross-border surrogacy. It examines the emerging phenomenon of surrogacy events held by a not-for-profit surrogacy organization to promote cross-border surrogacy in Australia—a country that prohibits commerc…
Will Business and Human Rights regulation help Rajasthan's bonded labourers who mine sandstone
Some of the worst human rights conditions globally are found in Rajasthan’s sandstone quarries. This paper asks if state-based regulation in the economic-North advanced under the Business and Human Rights agenda: disclosure-based regimes, due diligence compliance regimes and trade-based regimes, could advance efforts to improve respect for human rights in this sector. It adopts fields of struggle lens and global value chain theoretical approaches…
The Human Rights Implications of Not-for-Profit Surrogacy Organizations in Cross-Border Commercial Surrogacy
Cross-border surrogacy is a global industry that offers intended parents options for family formation by providing foreign surrogate mothers remuneration, directly or via an intermediary, in excess of their actual out-of-pocket expenses. It is a multi-million-dollar business with no international regulation. 1 In most countries, limited domestic regulation or oversight is in place. Many countries − such as Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zeala…
A race to the middle of the pack
In 2018, the Australian Parliament passed the Australian Modern Slavery Act (AMSA), which requires the approximately 3,000 businesses in Australia earning over AUD$100m p.a. to report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and global supply chains, and on their actions to reduce those risks. The Australian Government hopes that AMSA’s disclosure-based reporting model will spur businesses to race to the top; by conducting human rights …
Homeworking Women
Homework; work that is categorised as informal employment, performed in the home, mainly for subcontractors and mostly undertaken by women. The inequities and injustices inherent in homework conditions maintain women’s weak bargaining position, preventing them from making any improvements to their lives via their work. The best way to tackle these issues is not to abolish, but to bring equality and justice to homework. This book contributes a gen…
Using Mixed Methods to Study Labour Market Institutions
The aim of this article was to demonstrate how the application of mixed methods over a period of time can enrich the study of a labour market institution. The article shows how the adoption of an historical institutionalist approach, combined with repeated fieldwork, can provide novel insights into the reasons why an institution operates in particular ways: its potentialities and limitations. The article shows how this methodology is being applie…
Does public health advocacy seek to redress health inequities? A scoping review
The public health (PH) sector is ideally situated to take a lead advocacy role in catalysing and guiding multi-sectoral action to address social determinants of health inequities, but evidence suggests that PH's advocacy role has not been fully realised. The purpose of this review was to determine the extent to which the PH advocacy literature addresses the goal of reducing health and social inequities, and to increase understanding of contextual…
Orchestration from Below? Trade Unions in the Global South, Transnational Business and Efforts to Orchestrate Continuous Improvement in Non-state Regulatory Initiatives
This article is centrally concerned with the mechanisms and processes through which human rights in transnational business practices can be respected and remedied when breached, with a particular focus on workers’ rights in global garment supply chains. The United Nations (‘UN’) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (‘UNGPs’) represent a high-level attempt to provide a normative framework for these issues
Canadian Drug Policy and the Reproduction of Indigenous Inequities
Canada’s federal drug policy under the Harper government (2006 to present) is “tough on crime” and dismissive of public health and harm reduction approaches to problematic drug use. Drawing on insights from discourse and critical race theories, and Bacchi’s (2009) poststructural policy analysis framework, problematic representations in Canada’s federal drug policy discourse are examined through proposed and passed legislation, government document…
Rethinking Global Market Governance
The recent financial crisis and Great Recession have been compared to other historical moments during which significant shifts in regimes of market governance have occurred. Here, we engage with the pieces that follow in this special section of Politics & Society as we consider three dimensions along which global market governance might be transformed in the direction of greater democracy. First, given that problems of market governance often ext…
