Business has been involved in cooperation with multilateral organizations through public-private partnerships (PPPs) since the late 1990s. With their adoption of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), multilateral institutions increasingly consider partnerships as a means to achieve their goals given their own limited implementation capacity. However, the global economic order has changed significantly since the first expansion of PPPs, particularly due to growing participation by non-western states and companies. This article asks how this shift has changed the eagerness to form partnerships, as well as their qualitative content. It analyzes the 3964 partnerships in the SDG partnership registry, focusing on the subset of them that includes business partners. We divide these into five groups: local implementation, resource mobilization, advocacy, policy, and operational partnerships. We study PPPs involving companies from different varieties of capitalism—private, market based forms, and state-led forms of capitalism. We find that PPPs are still dominated by companies and other actors from Western countries. Moreover, business participate more in U.S.- and Canadian-led partnerships than others. We also find strong differences regarding what category of PPPs that companies from different backgrounds engage in, and discuss the linkages between varieties of capitalism and PPP participation.

从市场多边主义到目标设定治理：可持续发展目标和伙伴关系在全球新秩序中的角色转变

自 1990 年代后期以来，企业一直通过公私伙伴关系 (PPP) 参与与多边组织的合作。随着可持续发展目标 (SDG) 的通过，多边机构越来越多地将伙伴关系视为实现其目标的一种手段，因为它们自身的执行能力有限。然而，自 PPP 首次扩张以来，全球经济秩序发生了显着变化，特别是由于非西方国家和公司的参与度不断增加。本文探讨了这种转变如何改变了建立伙伴关系的渴望以及它们的定性内容。它分析了可持续发展目标伙伴关系登记册中的 3964 个伙伴关系，重点关注其中包括商业伙伴的子集。我们将这些分为五组：地方实施、资源调动、宣传、政策和业务伙伴关系。我们研究了涉及来自不同资本主义形式的公司的 PPP——私人的、基于市场的形式和国家主导的资本主义形式。我们发现 PPP 仍然由来自西方国家的公司和其他参与者主导。此外，企业比其他企业更多地参与美国和加拿大主导的合作伙伴关系。我们还发现不同背景的公司参与何种类型的 PPP 存在很大差异，并讨论了资本主义多样性与参与 PPP 之间的联系。企业比其他企业更多地参与美国和加拿大主导的合作伙伴关系。我们还发现不同背景的公司参与何种类型的 PPP 存在很大差异，并讨论了资本主义多样性与参与 PPP 之间的联系。企业比其他企业更多地参与美国和加拿大主导的合作伙伴关系。我们还发现不同背景的公司参与何种类型的 PPP 存在很大差异，并讨论了资本主义多样性与参与 PPP 之间的联系。
