- Hans-Michael Trautwein (2013): Economic Thinking about Transnational Governance: Blind Spots and Historical Perspectives
The notion of 'transnational governance' refers to systems in which private actors and other non- state institutions participate in setting and enforcing norms for cross-border transactions in trade, finance and other business. ... Yet, while transnational governance is a hot issue in other disciplines, it is almost a non-theme in current economics. This paper explores the development of economic thinking about transnational governance in three steps. It starts with a description of transnationalization and a typology of transnational governance. Thereafter it relates the historical causes and analytical choices that make it difficult to deal with transnational governance in terms of modern economics.
RePEc:zen:wpaper:13 Save to MyIDEAS - Friedrich, Jan & Kunkel, Tessa & Thiemann, Matthias (2024): Becoming influential: Strategies of control, expertise, and socialisation in transnational governance of accounting regulation
This study examines how accounting professionals empower themselves to become influential in the transnational governance space of accounting regulation and how their ideas can persist after they leave their powerful positions. Combining the concept of issue professionals with elements from the transnational governance literature, our multi-episode study investigates the role of six issue professionals in the decades-long reform process towards anchoring the rights approach in the international lease accounting standard (IFRS 16) and the definition of assets in the IASB's conceptual framework. We highlight how these issue professionals developed an extended commitment to the rights approach, which motivated them to advance from national to more central positions in the transnational governance space. ... Our study contributes to the literature on transnational governance and the political economy of accounting standard-setting by elaborating on the incremental rise to power of individuals and groups, and their influence on transnational institution-building processes.

Increased global interconnectivity has encouraged a prevalence of forums that seek to organise and facilitate action towards transnational governance. ... These forums are pathways through which corporate, political and social actors struggle to negotiate transnational governance as a mechanism for corporate responsibility. The article shows the lived experiences of those interacting to set goals and agendas for corporate responsibility and offers an analysis of how the agenda of transnational governance is negotiated, who is involved and the drivers and shapers of this interaction.
RePEc:ids:ijbget:v:14:y:2020:i:4:p:344-362 Save to MyIDEAS - Amy A. Quark (2011): Transnational Governance as Contested Institution-Building: China, Merchants, and Contract Rules in the Cotton Trade
We are in an era of uncertainty over whose rules will govern global economic integration. With the growing market share of Chinese firms and the power of the Chinese state it is unclear if Western firms will continue to dominate transnational governance. Exploring these dynamics through a study of contract rules in the global cotton trade, this article conceptualizes commodity chain governance as a contested process of institution-building. To this end, the global commodity chain/global value chain (GCC/GVC) framework must be revised to better account for the broader institutional context of commodity chain governance, institutional variation across space, and strategic action in the construction of legitimate governance arrangements. ... This advances our understandings of how commodity chain governance emerges and changes over time.

Economic globalisation fosters transnational systems of governance that are seen to threaten nationally based systems of democracy. ... First, what are the prospects for democratising transnational governance structures? In other words can democracy be disassociated from government ? Second, what is the role of the EU – is it a transnational governance system or a fledgling system of government? ... Are these bodies representative of transnational governance, or of government?
RePEc:erp:arenax:p0098 Save to MyIDEAS - Mayntz, Renate (2010): Legitimacy and compliance in transnational governance
In the 1970s, when governability appeared to be problematic, legitimacy was discussed both in the context of policy research and by critics of the capitalist state. More recently interest turned to governance beyond the nation-state. The legitimacy of transnational (i.e., European and international) organizations, of international regimes and of the - hard or soft - law they formulate is held to be deficient because they are lacking in democratic legitimation. ... Relating the alternatives to democratic legitimation to Weber's concept of legal legitimacy throws a new light on the presumed legitimacy deficit in transnational governance that makes it appear less dramatic.
RePEc:zbw:mpifgw:105 Save to MyIDEAS - Catherine M. Jones & Carole Clavier & Louise Potvin (2020): Policy processes sans frontières: interactions in transnational governance of global health
National policy on global health (NPGH) arenas are multisectoral governing arrangements for cooperation between health, development, and foreign affairs sectors in government policy for global health governance. To explore the relationship between national and global processes for governing global health, this paper asks: in what forms of interaction between NPGH arenas and global health governance are learning and networking processes present? ... We argue that NPGH is characteristic of transnational governance of global health.

The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is one of the largest transnational governance schemes (TGSs). ... As a corollary, evaluators’ implicit understanding of how a family is best organized sets different benchmarks against which the governance structure of the UNGC is assessed. ... Critics of the UNGC adopt a “strict father” model of transnational governance based on the idea that the proper education of inherently “bad” business firms necessitates obedience, discipline and punishment in case firms are non-compliant. ... We develop the “UNGC-as-family” metaphor, explore its implications for transnational governance and discuss under what conditions these idealized models can serve as appropriate guidelines for TGSs. Specifically, we posit that following the behavioral prescriptions of the “strict father” model may, under certain conditions, jeopardize the organizational embedding and institutionalization of UNGC principles, and explain when and why it may be in the best interest of the UNGC and civil society to embrace the instructions of the “nurturant parent” model of transnational governance.
