“…Along with consumerism, the first entities for corporate defense emerged. Shortly after the end of the First World War, a group of influential businessmen from the US, UK, France, Belgium and Italy created the International Chamber of Commerce [ICC] (Kelly, 2005). ICC was an imperialist project of the allied countries, to achieve a world hegemony that would benefit their economies in the post-war world (Tomashot, 2015).…”

“…If in the 1960s multinational corporations such as the members of ICC, were highly criticized for their roles in the so-called underdeveloped countries (Kelly, 2005), this changed with the advent of neoliberalism in the USA and Europe in the 1970s; ICC's discourse gained more space, as debates that advocated greater freedom for markets grew, including at a global level, as a way to generate growth for all (Harvey, 2011). In the face of this neoliberal scenario, the consumer movement that advocated greater government regulation of markets was losing relevance as the American New Right advanced the neoliberal agenda and helped to change what would become consumerism in the subsequent decades (Glickman, 2009).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how, in three different contexts, the National Council for Advertising Self-Regulation narratively uses its past to build an official history concerning its origins that legitimates advertising self-control as a hegemonic narrative. Design/methodology/approach By using the historical research and the “uses of the past” approach, this study identifies, analyzes and confronts three organizational histories of Conar’s origins (both its official and unofficial versions) in the context of the creation of the Brazilian system of advertising self-regulation. Findings After a thematic analysis of the documentary sources, the narratives on the National Council for Advertising Self-Regulation’s origins and the self-control process were grouped into three versions: the narrative under the military regime: 1976/1980; the narrative during the process of re-democratization of the country: 1981/1991 and the contemporary narrative: from 2005 onwards. These narratives were confronted and, in consequence, provided, each of them, a different interpretation of the context surrounding the creation and justification for advertising self-control. Originality/value The study shows how a consumer defense organization re-historicized its past strategically to gain legitimacy in three different ways through time. It also reveals that organizations strategically use their past to build an intended vision of the future, thus having more agency than the hegemonic literature in management studies usually guarantees. Finally, it exposes the malleability of past narratives through which organizations play a critical role in the ongoing struggle for competing uses of the past. Therefore, the study identifies different organizational stories through time that allow researchers to reflect on several strategic uses of the past by organizations.

“…To fully appreciate how these mechanisms work, however, we must differentiate between a variety of organizations in the global business community (Ronit, 2018). Some organizations seek to formulate strategies to influence traditional public policy adopted by IGOs, with the International Chamber of Commerce as a prominent example (Kelly, 2005), while others define and implement regulation without the involvement of public authority at all. For example, beyond the ISO there are many other standard-setting organizations that are completely private in their membership (Hale and Held, 2011).…”

“…Indeed, most studies dealing with international cooperation between BIAs focus on official private governance forums (Lanzalaco, 2009, pp. 308-309), such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) (Bertilorenzi, 2020;Kelly, 2005), the Union of Industrial and Employers' Confederations of Europe (UNICE) (Morival, 2017), the Council of European Industrial Federations (CEIF), and the Council of the Directors of European Industrial Federations (CDEIF) (Rollings & Kipping, 2008). While this literature usually acknowledges the difficulties that the international BIAs experienced in reaching a consensus (Morival, 2017, p. 38) and to transcend the lowest common denominator (Rollings & Kipping, 2008, p. 424), it does not systematically document the existence of specific alliances among European industrial federations, with the exception of Nordic BIAs (Westerberg, 2019, p. 573).…”

This article focuses on the establishment in the 1970s of a new international private governance forum, the so-called 'Interlaken Conferences' , which gathered together the leading figures of the Industrial Federations of the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It therefore contributes to the literature dealing with business interest associations' (BIAs) international alliances, and to the growing corpus analysing BIAs' political strategies in tackling the 1970s social unrest and economic crisis. Thanks to archival sources from the Swiss Federation of Commerce and Industry, this article examines the calculated efforts by Interlaken participants to secure a 'liberal bastion' of European industrial federations that could impose its views within other official international BIAs. By improving coordination, the participants sought to defend common liberal economic principles and to fight against adverse economic policies such as protectionism and state intervention in the economy.
