From unsafe working conditions in garment manufacturing to the
failure to consult indigenous communities with regard to extractive
industries that affect them, human rights violations remain a
pervasive aspect of the global economy. Advocates have long called
upon states, as the primary duty bearers and enforcers of human
rights, to hold corporations directly accountable for violations
committed throughout the supply chain. More recently, many business
and human rights advocates have considered the development and
enforcement of private regulatory initiatives (PRIs) to certify
that actors along the supply chain conform to certain codes of
conduct. Many advocates see these PRIs as holding the potential to
create better outcomes-whether for workers, affected communities,
or the environment-within a global economy structured by supply
chain capitalism. This volume brings together academics and
practitioners from a number of regions throughout the world to
engage in theoretical analysis, case study exploration, and
reflection on a variety of PRIs. Theorizing outward from the work
of practitioners and activists on the ground, the book brings
essential but often overlooked questions to the scholarly debates
on business, human rights, and global governance. Ultimately, the
contributions coalesce around one basic claim: that the
inequalities and disparities of power and wealth that are a key
characteristic of the contemporary global economy can also mark the
origins and operation of PRIs, and do so to varying degrees. The
collection highlights the need for discussions about labor,
environmental, and other human rights accountability to be situated
within a broader analysis of the political economy of contemporary
supply chain capitalism. It seeks to enrich discussions of PRIs by
bringing into the conversation concerns about distributive justice
and political economy.
