Uncertainty in times of ecological crisis
How do we face uncertainty in times of crisis? Debates in International Relations often struggle to disentangle the processes involved in turning the uncertainty of a crisis into decisions and actions. Drawing on the analysis of Frank H. Knight, we argue that decisions and actions taken by international actors in times of crisis are underpinned by the way that information is accessed, interpreted, and evaluated in order to claim reliable knowledg…
Do Labour Standards Improve Employment Relationships in Global Production Networks? A Cross-sector Study in Brazil
Research on private regulation of labour standards in global production networks often highlights their continuing failure despite the fact that lead firms no longer consider them as mere window dressing. Fewer analyses delve into their on-the-ground effectiveness to benefit workers. This article joins a context-specific approach with quantitative analysis to examine whether labour standards used in private regulation improve employment relations…
Grounding the Politics of Transnational Private Governance
With a focus on the concept of grounding, this special section argues that the politics of transnational private governance should be understood in the double meaning of, on the one hand, its local implementation and, on the other hand, practices of political contestation and translation. The concept of grounding thus allows for a localised focus on practices used by actors in transnational private governance. By doing so, we hope to make three c…
Power of Standards
Standards often remain unseen, yet they play a fundamental part in the organisation of contemporary capitalism and society at large. What form of power do they epitomise? Why have they become so prominent? Are they set to be as important for the globalisation of services as for manufactured goods? Graz draws on international political economy and cognate fields to present strong theoretical arguments, compelling research and surprising evidence o…

Services sans frontières
"Les services ne pèsent guère plus de 20% des échanges internationaux, alors qu'ils représentent près de 80% du PIB des pays riches. Pourquoi un tel écart? La réponse vient pour une part de la grande difficulté à établir des normes internationales de type ISO pour les activités du secteur tertiaire. Il est en effet plus simple de mondialiser la production et la commercialisation d'un smartphone ou d'une voiture que celles de prestations médicales…
Transnational Authority in the Knowledge-Based Economy
This article examines the extent and limits of nonstate forms of authority in international relations. It analyzes how the information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure for the tradability of services in a global knowledge-based economy relies on informal regulatory practices for the adjustment of ICT-related skills. By focusing on the challenge that highly volatile and short-lived cycles of demands for this type of knowledge pose…
Informal Institutions and Global Inequalities in the Service Industry
The extent to which the era of globalization differs from growing political and economic convergence has prompted contentious debates over the last two decades. From a global and long-term perspect
Gare aux hybrides
Les approches en termes de gouvernance ne donnent pas une explication cohérente du pouvoir consacré par l’émergence d’acteurs non étatiques sur la scène mondiale. Or, le terme d’ hybride peut contribuer de façon spécifique au débat sur la mondialisation du capitalisme. Dans la mythologie, les créatures hybrides se caractérisent par une ambiguïté ontologique et une ambivalence émotionnelle. En associant ces enseignements avec les approches hétérod…
Les hybrides de la mondialisation
La notion d’hybride est souvent utilisée dans les analyses consacrées au rôle croissant des acteurs non étatiques et des mécanismes informels de transformation du pouvoir dans le contexte de la mondialisation. Mais elle n’est jamais conceptualisée en tant que telle. Dans le prolongement des approches hétérodoxes en économie politique internationale, cet article pose une réflexion théorique sur le concept d’hybrides de la mondialisation. Le cadre …
Transnational mercantilism and the emergent global trading order
It is often argued that the problems currently facing the World Trade Organization stem from an important shift in the trade agenda from tariff reduction to the harmonisation of domestic regulations considered as non tariff barriers. From this perspective, the lack of harmonisation of domestic regulations severely impairs the capacity of the WTO to fulfil its mission. This article argues, in contrast, that the underlying problems facing the conte…
How Powerful are Transnational Elite Clubs? The Social Myth of the World Economic Forum
This article analyses the extent and nature of private authority in global political economy by examining one of its most publicised instances, the World Economic Forum (WEF). In Davos, Switzerland, the annual meetings of the WEF have attracted the world economic and political e ́lite for more than 30 years. Appraisals of the WEF diverge widely. For many years, Le Monde Diplomatique, the French monthly close to the anti-neoliberal globalisation m…

The Future of Seattle and Back
The failure of the WTO Ministerial conference last December to launch a new round of negotiations in trade liberalization has been widely commented upon. While WTO Director-General Mike Moore tries to heal the wounds opened by the battle of Seattle with a line of defense based on problems with communication, major differences among developed countries as well as between them and developing countries remain as substantial as ever
