In recent years, transnational private regulations (TPRs) have
gained importance in the areas of business and human rights,
particularly from a consumer point of view. However, some question
whether TPRs are indeed suitable normative frameworks contributing
to their signatory entities' compliance with human rights standards
and effective avoidance of human rights abuses. In response to this
question, this book proposes an analytical concept of effective
compliance. Based on the elements identified as crucial for
achieving effective compliance, it conducts an in-depth analysis of
how TPRs' normative frameworks function in practice and identifies
common patterns and challenges. Such inquiry is based on an
interdisciplinary methodological approach between law and
sociology, seeking not only to comprehend and assess how law is
systematized in theoretical terms, but also to understand how it
works on the ground. This allows identification of the lack of
active and effective participation of vulnerable stakeholders in
the discursive processes established and governed by TPRs, such as
rule-making and conformity assessment processes, as the main
challenge. Based on such evidence, the book addresses the
possibilities of overcoming such challenges, proposing that to
fully achieve TPRs' potential from an effective compliance point of
view, legal empowerment of vulnerable groups is essential. It
concludes by providing key observations and suggestions that
contribute to the use of TPRs as instruments in the struggle for
rights of empowered vulnerable stakeholders. The book will be of
interest to academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in
the areas of international law, transnational law, sociology of
law, and human rights law.
