The international nature of supply chains has led to the rise of private authority in regulating the environmental and social impacts of production, which companies frequently address through corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the form of private governance (PG). Despite its claim to establish “global” rules, PG usually has national origins, and multiple efforts to address the same issue from different national perspectives frequently coexist. Numerous studies have explored the impact of national business systems on companies' domestic CSR practices, yet little is known about what factors shape CSR practices like PG internationally. Therefore, this study seeks to understand how differing domestic contexts shape approaches to CSR in the form of PG in host countries. I explore this empirically through the comparative case study of competing PG initiatives in the post-Rana Plaza Bangladesh garment industry, uniquely conceived to govern companies' practices rather than certify products. It combines empirical findings with the comparative CSR literature to hypothesize about ideal types of PG organizing in US and European contexts. It extends the analysis to also account for other influential factors, such as stakeholder pressure, thus demonstrating how institutional and agentic factors amalgamate to shape firms' choices. By explicating linkages between international PG and its domestic context, as well as between the comparative CSR and PG literature studies, this study extends our understanding of how and why international PG practices and preferences vary for firms originating from different environments.

国内环境如何塑造国际私人治理：以孟加拉国的欧洲协议和美国联盟为例

供应链的国际性质导致私人当局在监管生产的环境和社会影响方面兴起，公司经常通过私人治理 (PG) 形式的企业社会责任 (CSR) 来解决这些问题。尽管它声称要建立“全球”规则，但 PG 通常具有国家起源，并且从不同国家的角度解决同一问题的多种努力经常并存。大量研究探讨了国家商业制度对公司国内企业社会责任实践的影响，但对于国际上像 PG 那样影响企业社会责任实践的因素知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在了解不同的国内背景如何以东道国的 PG 形式塑造企业社会责任的方法。我通过对后拉纳广场孟加拉国服装行业中竞争性 PG 计划的比较案例研究来实证地探索这一点，其独特的构想是为了管理公司的实践而不是认证产品。它将实证结果与比较 CSR 文献相结合，以假设美国和欧洲环境中理想的 PG 组织类型。它将分析扩展到还考虑了其​​他影响因素，例如利益相关者的压力，从而展示了制度和代理因素如何结合以影响公司的选择。通过解释国际 PG 与其国内环境之间的联系，以及比较 CSR 和 PG 文献研究之间的联系，
