Quais conteúdos emergem das instâncias específicas recebidas pelo PCN Brasil ? Reflexões a partir de análises lexicais

Resumo

The National Contact Points (NCPs) are responsible for managing the specific instances, a non-judicial mechanism for denouncing violations of the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), that contributes to repairing the damages caused by companies by means of agreement between the parties. Although several studies have pointed out the relevance of this instrument for the promotion of Responsible Business Conduct (CER) in the international business environment, there are still few academic studies that investigate the content of the specific instances’ documents. The aim of this article is to apprehend the discursive content of the summaries of the specific instances received by NCP Brazil from 2003 to 2020. A documentary analysis is carried out using Iramuteq (Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles de Textes et Questionnaires), a software that process lexical analyses. The results show that, regarding the way it deals with the specific instances, NCP Brazil has been following the OECD’s recommendations. Furthermore, despite its recent introduction, the Manual of Procedures has contributed to greater transparency of processes. The findings also suggest little dialogue with different organizations of the civil society and that the phase of good offices (mediation) needs to be strengthened.
