Private standards or market standardsin search for legitimacy and accountability in the international trading system

Resumo

In the last decades, many have discussed the impacts of globalization and the spread of a new phenomenon that comes with it – global governance, which means multiplication of international actors, proliferation of distinct norms and manifestation of different concerns from such a multiplicity of ‘regulators’ and ‘regulation’. Multilateral and governmental initiatives have been incapable of addressing these global challenges that have spread with the ‘emergence of new non-state market regulatory initiatives’, which are aimed at governing ‘production, production process and supply chains across the globe according to a set of non-governmental private standards’ – rules that regard different and complex issues, such as food safety, environmental protection, labor conditions, human rights protection and others.
