The Role of Deliberative Mini-Publics in Improving the Deliberative Capacity of Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives

Abstract: Multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs)—private governance mechanisms involving firms, civil society organizations, and other actors deliberating to set rules, such as standards or codes of conduct, with which firms comply voluntarily—have become important tools for governing global business activities and the social and environmental consequences of these activities. Yet, this growth is paralleled with concerns about MSIs’ deliberative capacity, including the limited inclusion of some marginalized stakeholders, … Show more

“…Moreover, CSR scholars specializing in deliberation and deliberative practices can leverage these localized and contextual contingencies to deepen their understanding of the relational dynamics that shape efforts to reform global capitalism (Dentoni et al, 2018; Giamporcaro et al, 2023; Pek et al, 2023). The incorporation of prefigurative imaginaries into CSR research stands to enrich our understanding of how diverse actors enter to prefigure various forms of social change.…”

“…In this paper, we use the case of a European Union expert group deliberating about the regulation of sustainable finance to show how three types of boundary work -arranging, shuffling and bridging -helped balance deliberative tensions between the search for inclusiveness, authenticity, and consequentiality. Although the deliberative capacity concept has proved useful for studying multi-stakeholders initiatives (Pek, Mena, & Lyons, 2023) and conflicting dynamics within deliberative processes (Beccarini, Beunza, Ferraro, & Hoepner, 2023;Castelló & Lopez-Berzosa, 2023), our analysis advances this prior research by investigating the role that deliberative boundary work played when dealing with such tensions. In so doing, we respond to the call of deliberative scholars for 'opening the black box' of deliberations as they happened (Bächtiger & Parkinson, 2019), while enriching boundary work studies (Langley et al, 2019).…”

“…The contribution of Pek, Mena, and Lyons (2023) to this special issue shows that MSIs can also be fruitfully conceptualized as deliberative systems themselves. Adopting this perspective unlocks an insightful analytical perspective that allows for the development of several structural and procedural improvements for the governance of MSIs.…”
