Who opposes labor regulation? Explaining variation in employers’ opinions
Competing accounts of the effect of globalization on labor politics agree that firms influence regulations, but make contrasting predictions for which firms are most likely to oppose regulations. Using survey data from employers in 19,000 manufacturing firms in 82 developing countries, we examine the determinants of employers’ opinions toward labor regulation. In contrast to the predictions of optimistic theories of globalization, we find that (i…
Resilience and Renewal: The Enforcement of Labor Laws in Brazil
What happens to a country's system of labor laws when its government embraces market-oriented reforms? In a twist on the prediction that labor regulations will be repealed, researchers find that laws remain in place but are not faithfully enforced, a phenomenon known as de facto flexibility. This article examines the case of Brazil to understand its near-opposite; namely, resilience and renewal in the enforcement of labor regulations. It finds th…
Beyond Bureaucracy: How Prosecutors and Public Defenders Enforce Urban Planning Laws in São Paulo, Brazil
Cities need law to thrive, but it is not clear how abstract texts become tangible policy outcomes. Existing research on the role of law in urban affairs conceives law as either an algorithm that shapes urban life or a reflection of political disputes. The former assumes that the meaning of law is obvious; the latter claims it is irrelevant. In contrast to these views, I argue that laws are multipurpose instruments that acquire a specific function…
Economic Development without Pre-Requisites: How Bolivian Producers Met Strict Food Safety Standards and Dominated the Global Brazil-Nut Market
Parallel Paths to Enforcement: Private Compliance, Public Regulation, and Labor Standards in the Brazilian Sugar Sector
In recent years, global corporations and national governments have been enacting a growing number of codes of conduct and public regulations to combat dangerous and degrading work conditions in global supply chains. At the receiving end of this activity, local producers must contend with multiple regulatory regimes, but it is unclear how these regimes interact and what results, if any, they produce. This article examines this dynamic in the sugar…
The Pragmatic Politics of Regulatory Enforcement
This paper describes regulatory enforcement as an intrinsically political endeavor. We argue that through daily enforcement transactions, regulators and the regulated reshape their interests and the environment in which they operate, reconstructing their perceptions of and preferences for compliance. We call this phenomenon the “sub-politics of regulatory enforcement”. After reviewing the trajectory of the field of regulatory enforcement as well …
Relational regulation in the Brazilian Ministério Publico: The organizational basis of regulatory responsiveness
Recent research on regulatory enforcement has been showing that the best way to enforce protective regulations is to thoroughly adapt the remedy to the problem at hand. Unfortunately, this is far from easy, as organizations and work environments all too often encourage street‐level bureaucrats to standardize and simplify their practices. In an attempt to bridge this gap, many scholars equate responsiveness to preprogrammed escalation. This articl…
The "sociological citizen" relational interdependence in law and organizations
Dans cet article, nous développons trois exemples de ce que nous appelons des "Citoyens sociologues" (des employés chargés de vérifier le respect des normes de sécurité et de l'environnement, des procureurs et des cadres d'entreprise), qui considèrent leur travail et se considèrent eux-mêmes comme faisant partie d'un réseau complexe d'interactions et de processus, et non comme occupant un poste avec des intérêts et des responsabilités limités. Au…
