This book analyses the recent emergence of transnational forms of
environmental regulation within the larger conceptual context of
global governance research and institutional theory. Increasingly,
private policies at the transnational level complement, and in some
cases even replace, public interventions. The author takes a deep
and broad look at the phenomenon to account for both the emergence
and the influence of private institutions in global governance and
sustainability. Focusing on the empirical arenas of sustainable
forestry and corporate environmental reporting and management,
Philipp Pattberg examines why and how private forms of
policy-making emerge at the transnational level and how their
impacts can be analysed. The study makes a threefold contribution
to current debates; firstly, it provides a novel theoretical
perspective on the phenomenon of private governance in global
sustainability politics. Secondly, it offers a fresh
conceptualisation of global governance as a meta-theory in the
social sciences. And finally, it provides detailed insights into
the empirical landscape of private governance in the areas of
global forestry and corporate environmental reporting. This book
bridges disciplinary boundaries by providing a detailed account of
recent developments in global business regulation as an important
aspect of the current sustainability debate. As such it will appeal
to a wide audience of both academics and researchers in the fields
of environmental policy, public sector economics, international
relations and global environmental and sustainability politics in
particular. It will also be of interest to practitioners involved
in private rule-making and sustainable development.
