Transnational public‐private partnerships (PPPs) have become a popular theme in International Relations (IR) research. Such partnerships constitute a hybrid type of governance, in which nonstate actors co‐govern along with state actors for the provision of collective goods, and thereby adopt governance functions that have formerly been the sole authority of sovereign states. Their recent proliferation is an expression of the contemporary reconfiguration of authority in world politics that poses essential questions on the effectiveness and the legitimacy of global governance. In this article, we critically survey the literature on transnational PPPs with respect to three central issues: Why do transnational PPPs emerge, under what conditions are they effective, and under what conditions are they legitimate governance instruments? We point to weaknesses of current research on PPPs and suggest how these weaknesses can be addressed. We argue that the application of IR theories and compliance theories in particular opens up the possibility for systematic comparative research that is necessary to obtain conclusive knowledge about the emergence, effectiveness, and legitimacy of transnational PPPs. Furthermore, the article introduces the concept of complex performance to capture possible unintended side effects of PPPs and their implications on global governance.

“…If dialogue is a mechanism through which states learn about new problems and build enough concern to be part of developing international norms, and then wish to comply with them, it is also a mechanism through which states can build the capacity to comply when this does not exist (Haas 2000). To comply with a norm a state needs to have knowledge about measures and strategies for implementation as well as the capacity to adopt them.…”

The international norms that are developed as tools of global governance can be placed on a continuum from traditional “hard law” treaties to the vaguest and voluntary “soft law.” In this article we develop an analytical framework for comparing norms on different positions along the continuum, thus for comparing international hard and soft law. We root the framework in both the rationalist and the constructivist paradigms of international relations by focusing on two overarching evaluative criteria: effectiveness and legitimacy. These broad concepts are divided into smaller building blocks encompassing mechanisms through which norms can exert influence; for example, by changing material incentives, identities, and building capacity, and by contributing to building source‐based, procedural, and substantive legitimacy. We illustrate the applicability of the framework with three norm processes of varying degrees of “softness” in global climate governance.

“…On 3 June 1998, President Jiang Zemin pledged, in his first public reaction to the tests in South Asia, that "China has no intention of restarting its nuclear tests" . 19 Either as a strategic move or as a responsible gesture to maintain world peace, China has also pledged not to use nuclear weapons first and has asked or even challenged other nuclear powers to do likewise. So far, it has not stationed a single soldier or held military exercises outside its 18 China has yet to ratify it.…”

“…Much depends on how fast China builds up its capacity to act according to the interest-maximisation principle. 19 It has moved away from fighting against unfair norms and unjust rules to join the status quo of hegemonic governance. Unwittingly, it uses constructivism to further its realism goals.…”
