`This book provides a timely contribution to both academic and
policy debates by examining the processes and mechanisms of the
emergence and proliferation of non-state governance schemes,
specifically comparing forest and fisheries certification. The
empirical evidence challenges conventional wisdom by showing that
political and public regulatory frameworks are essential in the
implementation of certification programs. This is highly
recommended reading when discussing to what extent - and how -
non-state transnational governance schemes can solve the problems
they were intended for.' - Katarina Eckerberg, Umea University,
Sweden `Transnational Environmental Governance provides a
comprehensive and insightful analysis of the emergence and effects
of certification schemes as novel mechanisms of environmental
policy-making beyond traditional intergovernmental cooperation.
Gulbrandsen's multi-level study will be highly useful for scholars,
practitioners and graduate students who seek to advance their
understanding of private rulemaking at both national and global
levels. The book is highly recommended.' - Frank Biermann, Vrije
Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands `A comprehensive and
highly informative analysis of two of the most important examples
of non-state governance mechanisms that have emerged to address the
shortcomings of government environmental regulation. This book's
theoretical framework and detailed case-studies represent an
important contribution to our understanding of the accomplishments
and limitations of certification programs to advance corporate
social responsibility.' - David Vogel, University of California,
Berkeley `Incisive and nuanced, Transnational Environmental
Governance significantly advances our understanding of the capacity
of certification to influence the environmental behaviour of
corporations and consumers. Lars Gulbrandsen's subtle analysis
leaves us with an innovative toolbox to explain when and why
voluntary certification programs succeed - or fail - to strengthen
environmental governance. It is essential reading for anyone
wanting a more accurate way to evaluate the growing number of
non-state certification programs.' - Peter Dauvergne, University of
British Columbia, Canada In recent years a wide range of non-state
certification programs have emerged to address environmental and
social problems associated with the extraction of natural
resources. This book provides a general analytical framework for
assessing the emergence and effectiveness of voluntary
certification programs. It focuses on certification in the forest
and fisheries sectors, as initiatives in these sectors are among
the most advanced cases of non-state standard setting and
governance in the environmental realm. Paying particular attention
to the Forest Stewardship Council and the Marine Stewardship
Council, the author examines how certification initiatives emerged,
the politics that underlie their development, their ability to
influence producer and consumer behavior, and the broader
consequences of their formation and spread. The analysis of the
certification of forests and fisheries offers a wealth of insights
from which to better understand the capacity of non-state
governance programs to ameliorate global environmental problems.
Containing a detailed review of the direct effects and broader
consequences of forest and fisheries certification, this book will
be warmly welcomed by scholars of environmental politics and
corporate social responsibility, as well as practitioners involved
in non-state certification programs throughout the world.
