Power, Procedure, Participation and Legitimacy in Global Sustainability Norms by Karin Buhmann

Power, Procedure, Participation and Legitimacy in Global Sustainability Norms by Karin Buhmann

This book combines empirical experience on public-private regulation of global sustainability concerns and theoretical perspectives on transnational regulation in a post-national legal order. It sets out new procedural suggestions for legitimate collaborative regulation of global sustainability issues in a global legal and political order.

"At a time when globalization is unprecedentedly challenged, ProfBuhmann provides us a new thinking on how business’ impacts can better be tackled through a participatory and collaborative regulation system that organically optimizes the different but synergized roles of public institutions, private sector and the civil society, so that globalization can be sustained as it was, and sustainable as it should be."

Dr. Liang Xiaohui, Peking University, China

"The theory of Collaborative Regulation corresponds very well to real life negotiations on responsible business conduct, which my experience as Chair of the tough negotiations on the OECD Guidelines for Multinationals has certainly illustrated. Professor Buhmann's theory reflects the importance of representation and involvement of stakeholders. I would recommend this book because it provides useful insights in the crucial role stakeholders could and should play in regulating globalisation."

Prof dr Roel Nieuwenkamp, Chair OECD Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct

"The planet that we all share appears increasingly challenged by disputes over the environment, internet, resources, human rights, etc. Karin Buhmann acknowledges that we cannot easily find solutions. In this book, she uses thoughtful arguments and case studies to posit a new global governance approach which involves civil society and could be seen by a wide range of actors as legitimate. Buhmann calls this "collaborative regulation" to balance power disparities. She has produced a thoughtful, insightful, original, and important book for scholars of human rights, law, international relations, governance and political science."

Dr. Susan Ariel Aaronson, George Washington University, USA
