Scholars and practitioners of global private business regulation have often recognised the importance of political and institutional dynamics “on the ground,” in shaping the degree to which social and environmental regulatory norms are institutionalised or resisted at the local level. Local dynamics of norm contestation generate dilemmas for global regulators who aspire to be responsive to varied contexts in producing countries without “watering down” global regulatory agendas. Drawing on a range of empirical illustrations from Southeast Asia and Latin America, this paper develops a typology of domestication strategies currently being used by global private regulators and examines the effects of these strategies on supporting or undermining the overall values and purposes of global regulatory agendas. In the presence of pervasive local contestation surrounding global regulatory norms, norm domestication strategies are shown to offer important means of countering challenges to the power and legitimacy of global regulators. Nonetheless, the effects of such strategies remain highly contingent on path‐dependent contests between competing regulatory coalitions at both local and global levels.

跨国跨国商业监管中的规范化驯化政治：类型学和插图

全球私人企业监管的学者和实践者通常认识到“实地”的政治和制度动态在塑造社会和环境监管规范在地方一级制度化或被抵制的程度方面的重要性。规范竞争的局部动力为全球监管者带来了两难选择，他们渴望在生产国应对各种情况而不会“淡化”全球监管议程。本文以东南亚和拉丁美洲的一系列经验例证为基础，对当前全球私有监管机构正在使用的驯化策略进行了分类，并研究了这些策略对支持或破坏全球监管议程的总体价值和宗旨的影响。在围绕全球监管规范的普遍性本地竞争的情况下，规范驯化策略显示出提供了应对全球监管机构的权力和合法性挑战的重要手段。但是，这种策略的效果仍然高度取决于本地和全球竞争监管联盟之间基于路径的竞争。
