“…The results confirm the strategic transformation of some subsidiaries of multinational corporations in Brazil, since some of them have gone beyond acting as mere operational arms and units to exploit markets and have become centers of excellence in organizational practices, including CSR practices. Despite the constant accusations of relative neglect of CSR practices by multinationals in emerging markets (Oldenziel, Ramsing & Feeney, 2010), the results here show this is not always the case, at least in Brazil.…”

The theme of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has not been widely examined in the context of multinationals. This dearth is even greater with respect to subsidiaries, particularly the subject of reverse transfer of practices, that is, the transfer of practices developed in subsidiaries back to the parent company. Because of this theoretical gap, the present article investigates the factors involved on reverse transfer of CSR practices. The research hypotheses test the importance of developing nonlocation-bound capabilities, of integration between subsidiaries and parent and of institutional distance. The data were obtained by a survey of the main foreign subsidiaries in Brazil. All told, we analyzed 150 Brazilian subsidiaries of multinationals, by applying multiple linear regression. The results indicate that the reverse transfer of CSR depends on the development of nonlocation-bound capabilities of the subsidiaries and integration between the parent company and its foreign subsidiaries.

“…At the most, follow-up can lead to mediation between a complaining party and a MNE, but the mechanisms lack teeth to put MNEs under pressure. (Oldenziel et al, 2010;Schuler, 2010) …”

“…The overall opinion is that the monitoring mechanisms of the OECD have no legal consequences and are purely soft-law mechanisms. At most, follow-up can lead to mediation between a complaining party and an MNE, but the mechanisms lack teeth to put MNEs under pressure (Oldenziel, Wilde-Ramsing and Feeney, 2010;Schuler, 2008).…”

In their introduction to this Special Issue, the authors situate the architecture of global labour governance against the background of the challenges posed by globalization. Noting the limitations of a conventional governmental approach to labour governance, they suggest considering new “hybrid” regulatory modes and mechanisms, which involve a combination of public and private actors and initiatives alongside or instead of traditional international labour law. The authors conclude by examining possible explanations for the emergence of gaps in the enforcement of labour rights, looking in particular at the issues of labour‐standard “selectivity” and the stringency with which standards are enforced.

“…La opinión general es que los mecanismos de supervisión de la OCDE no tienen consecuencias jurídicas, por lo que pertenecen meramente a la esfera del derecho indicativo. A lo sumo, el seguimiento puede conducir a una mediación entre la parte que presenta la queja y la EMN, pero no se han previsto medios de coerción para ejercer presión sobre esta última (Oldenziel, Wilde-Ramsing y Feeney, 2010;Schuler, 2008).…”

Resumen En esta introducción al número monográfico se sitúa la arquitectura de la gobernanza mundial del trabajo en el contexto de la globalización y se analiza el panorama jurídico teniendo en cuenta los recientes incidentes y debates. Los autores ofrecen una visión general de los mecanismos mundiales de protección de los derechos en el trabajo, que clasifican según tres modalidades: la intergubernamental basada en la labor de la OIT, las iniciativas intergubernamentales destinadas a las empresas multinacionales, y las iniciativas privadas basadas en la responsabilidad social de las empresas. Dan cuenta de las aportaciones de los diferentes artículos del número y concluyen analizando las brechas de control existentes.
