The challenge of transnational private governance: evaluating authorization, representation and accountability
Résumé
The shift of regulatory activities to the international level is clearly visible in the
increasing number of intergovernmental organizations and sector-specific “regimes,” or
in the progress of supranational political integration above all in Europe. But one can
also think of a less visible shift that has led to the explosion of transnational regulation
outside the intergovernmental realm. This shift takes various forms, including publicprivate
ventures or informal modes of cooperation between public actors (Pauwelyn et
al. 2012). It is to the study of an increasingly important particular aspect of
transnational regulation outside the intergovernmental sphere that this programmatic
note is devoted: 2 regulation by non-state actors, such as NGOs and firms, which are two
of the three poles of Abbott and Snidal’s (2009) “governance triangle” (the third pole
obviously being the state, or more generally public institutions). Such a development is
emblematic of “a remarkable period of institutional innovation in transnational
governance” (Hale & Held 2010) (...).
