This book focuses on the spread of public and private environmental
and food safety regulations from Europe and North America to Asia
and Africa. It explores the growth of policy diffusion and standard
alignment on sustainability observed in non-Western follower
countries in a globalizing world. The book examines the role of
both developed and developing non-Western countries as followers
that adopt food safety, environmental and sustainability policies
under different conditions to those of the originating country.
Chapters analyse non-state forms of transnational regulation, and
how these have diffused to non-Western countries. They showcase how
standard alignment efforts lead to multiple localized regulations
determined by specific circumstances, highlighting the dilemma in
designing policy in an era of globalization. The use of in-depth
case studies by renowned experts will make this book an important
read for political science and economics scholars interested in
trade, standards and international regulation. Policy-makers
concerned with issues of sustainability in follower countries will
find the book's lessons on how to adapt policies helpful.
The essays here attempt to move beyond the question of Israel's
uniqueness to examine the pace and direction of change of Israel's
political, social and economic institutions. Using the tools of
comparative analysis, scholars from Israel, the US and Europe
describe the ways in which Israeli society is becoming more like
other democratic industrialized societies and in what dimensions
Israeli culture and institutions are slowing or resisting such
convergence. The essays fall into four categories: political
institutions and organizations; political economy; ethnicity and
religion; and public policy.
Israeli historiography has long been subjected to a sustained
assault by self-styled "new historians" vying to expose what they
claim to be the distorted "Zionist narrative" of Israeli history
and the Arab-Israeli conflict. They have cast Israel as the
regional villain, bearing sole responsibility for the cycle of
violence in the Middle east since 1946.
This text takes issue with these "revisionists." The author argues
that they have ignored or misinterpreted much documentation in
developing their analysis of Israel's history. There are numerous
in-depth studies to illustrate the author's argument.
This well-documented book analyzes the possibilities and
constraints of regulatory cooperation between the EU and the US
(particularly California) with a specific focus on environmental
protection, food safety and agriculture, biosafety and
biodiversity. Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation features eleven
original essays by leading academics of regulation on both sides of
the Atlantic. They explore topics such as the impact of federalism
on regulatory policies both within the US and Europe, the
transatlantic dynamics of water policy, climate change, pesticide
and chemical regulation, and biotechnology. A primary focus of this
timely study is on the shifting roles of California and the EU as
regulatory leaders and ITS impact on future regulatory cooperation
across the Atlantic. This informative book will appeal to graduate
and postgraduate students, as well as academics and researchers in
international relations, business, law and economics who are
working on regulatory issues. The policy community which focuses on
regulation and transatlantic regulatory relations will also find it
an important resource.
A political history of environmental policy and regulation in
California, from the Gold Rush to the present Over the course of
its 150-year history, California has successfully protected its
scenic wilderness areas, restricted coastal oil drilling, regulated
automobile emissions, preserved coastal access, improved energy
efficiency, and, most recently, addressed global climate change.
How has this state, more than any other, enacted so many innovative
and stringent environmental regulations over such a long period of
time? The first comprehensive look at California's history of
environmental leadership, California Greenin' shows why the Golden
State has been at the forefront in setting new environmental
standards, often leading the rest of the nation. From the
establishment of Yosemite, America's first protected wilderness,
and the prohibition of dumping gold-mining debris in the nineteenth
century to sweeping climate- change legislation in the
twenty-first, David Vogel traces California's remarkable
environmental policy trajectory. He explains that this pathbreaking
role developed because California had more to lose from
environmental deterioration and more to gain from preserving its
stunning natural geography. As a result, citizens and civic groups
effectively mobilized to protect and restore their state's natural
beauty and, importantly, were often backed both by business
interests and bystrong regulatory authorities. Business support for
environmental regulation in California reveals that strict
standards are not only compatible with economic growth but can also
contribute to it. Vogel also examines areas where California has
fallen short, particularly in water management and the state's
dependence on automobile transportation. As environmental policy
debates continue to grow more heated, California Greenin'
demonstrates that the Golden State's impressive record of
environmental accomplishments holds lessons not just for the
country but for the world.
Corporate responsibility has gone global. It has secured the
attention of business leaders, governments and NGOs to an
unprecedented extent. Increasingly, it is argued that business must
play a constructive role in addressing massive global challenges.
Business is not responsible for causing most of the problems
associated with, for example, extreme poverty and hunger, child
mortality and HIV/AIDS. However, it is often claimed that business
has a responsibility to help ameliorate many of these problems and,
indeed, it may be the only institution capable of effectively
addressing some of them. Global Challenges in Responsible Business
addresses the implications for business of corporate responsibility
in the context of globalization and the social and environmental
problems we face today. Featuring research from Europe, North
America, Asia and Africa, it focuses on three major themes:
embedding corporate responsibility, corporate responsibility and
marketing, and corporate responsibility in developing countries.

"The Politics of Precaution" examines the politics of consumer
and environmental risk regulation in the United States and Europe
over the last five decades, explaining why America and Europe have
often regulated a wide range of similar risks differently. It finds
that between 1960 and 1990, American health, safety, and
environmental regulations were more stringent, risk averse,
comprehensive, and innovative than those adopted in Europe. But
since around 1990, the book shows, global regulatory leadership has
shifted to Europe. What explains this striking reversal?
David Vogel takes an in-depth, comparative look at European and
American policies toward a range of consumer and environmental
risks, including vehicle air pollution, ozone depletion, climate
change, beef and milk hormones, genetically modified agriculture,
antibiotics in animal feed, pesticides, cosmetic safety, and
hazardous substances in electronic products. He traces how concerns
over such risks--and pressure on political leaders to do something
about them--have risen among the European public but declined among
Americans. Vogel explores how policymakers in Europe have grown
supportive of more stringent regulations while those in the United
States have become sharply polarized along partisan lines. And as
European policymakers have grown more willing to regulate risks on
precautionary grounds, increasingly skeptical American policymakers
have called for higher levels of scientific certainty before
imposing additional regulatory controls on business.
Notwithstanding the myriad forms of government assistance to
American business, the relationship of business to politics in the
United States remains a highly antagonistic one, characterized by
substantial mutual distrust. This adversarial relationship is both
reflected and reinforced not only in American business ideology,
but also in America's unique legalistic and confrontational style
of regulation, the political strategies of the public interest
movement, the American approach to American industrial policy, and
the distinctive way Americans think about the subject of business
ethics. This volume brings together more than two decades of
scholarship on business and politics by one of the leading
authorities on this subject.
These essays also explore a number of critical contemporary
issues, including the ongoing debate over the scope and extent of
business power in America, the growth of shareholder protests and
consumer boycotts, the changing politics of consumer and
environmental regulation, and the emergence of both public and
business interest in business ethics. In addition, they place the
contemporary dynamics of American business-government relations in
both an historical and comparative context. Finally these essays
demonstrate e the importance of integrating the study of business
by political scientists with the study of politics by students of
management.

In the highly praised The Market for Virtue, David Vogel presents a
clear, balanced analysis of the contemporary corporate social
responsibility (CSR) movement in the United States and Europe. In
this updated paperback edition, Vogel discusses recent CSR
initiatives and responds to new developments in the CSR debate. He
asserts that while the movement has achieved success in improving
some labor, human rights, and environmental practices in developing
countries, there are limits to improving corporate conduct without
more extensive and effective government regulation. Put simply,
Vogel believes that there is a market for virtue, but it is limited
by the substantial costs of socially responsible business behavior.
Praise for the cloth edition: " The definitive guide to what
corporate social responsibility can and cannot accomplish in a
modern capitalist economy." Robert B. Reich, Brandeis University,
and former U.S. Secretary of Labor " Vogel raises a number of
excellent points on the present and future of CSR." Working
Knowledge, Harvard Business School " A useful corrective to the
view that CSR alone is the full answer to social problems."
Business Ethics " The study combines sound logic with illustrative
cases, and advances the sophistication of the CSR debate
considerably." John G. Ruggie, Harvard University, co-architect of

Vogel (business, political science, University of

of business with that of comparative politics to explain why Great
Britain and the US have adopted such divergent approaches to
controlling factors associated with industrial growth.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Medien /
Kommunikation - Public Relations, Werbung, Marketing, Social Media,
Fachhochschule Dusseldorf, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zur
Jahrtausendwende steht ein Grossteil der Markenbranche vor einem
wachsenden Problem: Die Konsumenten horen ihr nicht mehr zu:
Advertising has lost his power... Advertising has no credibility
with consumers, who are increasingly skeptical of its claims and
whenever possible are inclined to reject its message." (Ries 2002;
z. n. Denning 2005, 103). In der Fachliteratur finden sich die
unterschiedlichsten Ansatze zur Losung dieser Problematik und zur
erfolgreichen Fuhrung einer Marke. Der Marketing- und Medienmanager
Christian Spath stellt zusammen dem Publizisten und Kulturmanager
Bernhard G. Foerg fest, dass bei der verzweifelten Suche nach einem
Perspektivenwechsel im Marketing zur Jahrtausendwende Manager und
Wissenschaftler auf die Kraft des Storytellings gestossen sind.
Geschichten sollen dem neuen, nicht mehr produktorientierten
sondern markenorientierten Konsumentenverhalten gerecht werden
(vgl. Spath & Foerg 2006, 117). Das Ziel ist es, sich mittels
einer Geschichte vom Wettbewerber abzuheben und sich fur den Kunden
klar und deutlich zu positionieren (vgl. ebd. 130). Auch die
Medienwirtin Sindia Boldt sieht einen zukunftsorientierten Ansatz
der Markenfuhrung unter anderem im Geschichten erzahlen: Um
Markenwerte zu kommunizieren und diese dauerhaft zu verankern sind
Markenstorys (...) ein geeignetes Instrument" (Boldt 2010, 113).
Eine Marke baut auf definierten Werten auf, eine Geschichte kann
diese Werte wiederum kommunizieren (vgl. Spath & Foerg 2006,
131). Nun steht dabei nicht mehr das Produkt im Mittelpunkt,
sondern die Geschichte (vgl. ebd. 148). Dabei bringen Spath und
Foerg eine bestehende Problematik auf den Punkt: Es gibt kein
Rezept fur gute Geschichten, und auch die Methode des Storytellings
in der Markenkommunikation steht vor diesem Problem (vgl. ebd. 83).

Corporate responsibility has gone global. It has secured the
attention of business leaders, governments and NGOs to an
unprecedented extent. Increasingly, it is argued that business must
play a constructive role in addressing massive global challenges.
Business is not responsible for causing most of the problems
associated with, for example, extreme poverty and hunger, child
mortality and HIV/AIDS. However, it is often claimed that business
has a responsibility to help ameliorate many of these problems and,
indeed, it may be the only institution capable of effectively
addressing some of them. Global Challenges in Responsible Business
addresses the implications for business of corporate responsibility
in the context of globalization and the social and environmental
problems we face today. Featuring research from Europe, North
America, Asia and Africa, it focuses on three major themes:
embedding corporate responsibility, corporate responsibility and
marketing, and corporate responsibility in developing countries.
Critics of globalization claim that economic liberalization leads
to a lowering of regulatory standards. As capital and corporations
move more freely across national boundaries, a race to the bottom
results as governments are forced to weaken labor and environmental
standards to retain current contracts or attract new business. The
essays in this volume argue that, on the contrary, under certain
circumstances global economic integration can actually lead to the
strengthening of consumer and environmental standards. This volume
extends the argument of David Vogel's book "Trading Up," which
discussed environmental standards, by focusing on the impact of
globalization on labor rights, women's rights and capital market
regulations.
Government health, safety, and environmental standards have, in the
past two decades, often created barriers to international trade.
These non-tariff barriers have become the focus of trade disputes,
negotiations, and agreements. This book explains the dynamics of
conflict and cooperation over consumer and environmental regulation
between the European Union and the United States. It explores the
most celebrated cases of transatlantic conflicts over regulatory
standards--the EU's beef hormone and legtrap bans, and America's
fuel economy regulations--as well as the successes of the two
partners in coordinating rules for chemical and drug testing,
animal inspection, and the reduction of ozone-depleting chemicals.
David Vogel argues that transatlantic regulatory conflict has less
to do with protectionism and more to do with deeply rooted
differences in cultural values and political priorities in Europe
and the United States. These differences, he explains, constitute a
fundamental and ongoing source of trade conflict between the EU and
the U.S. The pattern of EU-U.S. regulatory relations has important
implications, not only for the United States and Western Europe,
but for the entire global economy. Whatever regulatory standards
both adopt become de facto global standards. According to Vogel,
the most important challenge for the U.S. and the EU is to promote
and strengthen international regulatory cooperation. Each needs to
pay more attention to their common interests in promoting
international trade and improving global standards than to their
often heated differences over particular consumer and environmental
policies.
