Workshop: Dynamic Interactions in Transnational Business Governance: Assessing Impacts on Regulatory Capacity and Performance

This workshop is organized by Burkhard Eberlein and held as part of the Global Governance Colloquium.

It emerges from a larger research network that investigates “Interactions in Transnational Business Governance (TBG)”. It builds on the observation that an increasing portion of business regulation emanates not only from conventional state institutions but from an array of private sector, civil society, multi-stakeholder, and public-private institutions operating in a dynamic, transnational regulatory space. However, little is known about the effects of TBG proliferation: how do various TBG initiatives and schemes interact with one another and with state law and regulation, and how does this interaction shape the larger regulatory system being constituted?
More specifically, the Berlin Workshop aims to explore the impacts of TBG proliferation and interactions on regulatory capacity and on the performance of the larger regulatory system.
