Enabling Economies of Peace: Public Policy for Conflict-Sensitive Business
New York: United Nations Global Compact, 2005; reissued 2009
With Karen Ballentine.
This United Nations publication identifies a range of concrete actions that governments and international organizations can undertake to better assist private-sector efforts to promote effective conflict-sensitive business practices.
A Public Role for the Private Sector: Industry Self-Regulation in a Global Economy
Washington, DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2001
Over the past decade, a growing number of corporations have adopted policies of industry self-regulation such as corporate codes of conduct, social and environmental standards, and auditing and monitoring systems.
A Public Role for the Private Sector is the first book to explore this self-regulation phenomenon on an international level across three different policy issues—environment, labor, and information privacy.
Private Authority and International Affairs
Albany: SUNY Press, 1999
Co-edited with Claire Cutler and Tony Porter.
Governments today are too often unwilling to intervene in global commerce, and international organizations are too often unable to govern effectively. In their place, firms increasingly cooperate internationally to establish the rules and standards of behavior for themselves and for others.
Are they stepping into the breach to supply needed collective goods? Or are they organizing themselves in order to prevent governments from interfering in their business?
Dangerous Commerce: State and Market in the International Risks Insurance Regime
Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1997
As businesses search increasingly for opportunities beyond their national borders, they face the risk that political change in other countries will jeopardize their efforts.
Dangerous Commerce shows that a crucial factor in the expansion of global markets has been the private sector’s creation of a sophisticated insurance industry to redistribute the risks entailed in foreign commerce, a privately constructed safety net for international transactions.
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1997
Co-edited with Karol Soltan and Eric Uslaner.
“Institutionalism” is the buzzword of the 1980s and 1990s in the social sciences. What is new in the contemporary analysis of institutions and what does it offer to the study of social order?
In this book a distinguished group of social scientists drawn from political science, economics, and sociology explore this question and show us how different theoretical approaches to institutional analysis can be joined to build a more thorough understanding of institutions.
