“…Most studies, with the notable exception of Morikawa and Morrison (2004) and Lim and Prakash (2018), are based on case studies on individual standards such as ISO 14001 (Environmental management) (Kollman and Prakash, 2001;Potoski and Prakash, 2005b,a;Potoski, 2006a,b, 2007) or ISO 9000 (Quality management) (Casper and Hancké, 1999;Guler et al, 2002). Other contributions focus on selected technical committees such as ISO TC 228 (Tourism) and ISO TC 229 (Nanotechnologies) (Graz and Hauert, 2019).…”

2019 (discussants Eric Arias and Peter Rosendorff), and the Swiss Political Science Association annual conferences in 2019 and 2020 (discussant Lukas Linsi and Oliver Westerwinter). I would also like to thank Michael Beer, Awilo Ochieng Pernet, and Martin Müller for facilitating my participation in the 42nd Codex Alimentarius Commission in Geneva, Switzerland in 2019.The WTI not only supported my doctoral studies in Switzerland but also actively facilitated my research visits abroad. Here, I would like to extend my gratitude to Tim Büthe, whose contributions to the literature not only ignited my interests in international standards but who also kindly hosted my research visit at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany in 2018. Tim not only provided valuable feedback, he also provided me with the opportunity to present my research in his (post-) doctoral colloquium, and to meet my co-author Cindy Chen. In a more informal, but by no means less significant, note I would like to thank Toni Ser, who has not only been my best friend for

“…Moreover, users implicitly influence the R&D decisions of manufacturing companies, as the choice of users has a significant impact on the competitiveness of a company's product [83], [136]. The participation of technology users can legitimize the resulting standard, as users can contribute to standardization by providing meaningful real-world requirements [21], [31], [64], [88], [100], [137]; however, it is challenging to achieve actual user representation, due to the lack of necessary experience of users who participate in the standardization process to provide meaningful suggestions regarding the technical requirements [52], [88].…”

To date, discussions on standards and standards-related market issues have mainly been focused on market influence, such as a company's performance, trade, and technological innovation. Despite the fact that many studies have been conducted with a focus on technology standards, the ways in which primary actors of standards affect the market are yet to be fully investigated in extant studies. In this study, we investigate the primary actors in technology standardization by carrying out a systematic review and constructing a conceptual framework and concept maps of primary actors. Based on our analysis, we categorize primary actors, according to their roles and timing of engagement in standardization, as follows: Technology producers, standard-setters, regulators, and technology users. We illustrate each actor's detailed actions, motives, and difficulties with concept maps that are structured based on the SAO/P model, in order to elucidate why primary actors participate in standardization and how they act to achieve their goals or resolve difficulties. Based on our findings, we derive implications in terms of the strategic management of standardization activities in the manufacturing industry.

“…Despite the prominence of accountability and transparency discourses, the knowledge content in governance tools and their production is difficult to contest for those whose authority claims are not recognized. For NGOs, challenging discourses often requires adopting the language and theoretical frameworks of the dominant (Eagleton-Pierce, 2018; Graz & Hauert, 2019). Less visible technocratic processes operate in IGOs through a kind of 'clandestine politics', which has important consequences for how global norms are interpreted and applied to policy (Kentikelenis & Babb, 2019).…”

How are the tools that govern the world economy legitimated? Here we discuss how governance tools-such as policy scripts, templates, and benchmarks-are developed to contain particular types of knowledge. Such tools contain blueprints of how the world economy should work. Understanding how they are produced and legitimated is important if we are to comprehend how they replicate particular bodies of knowledge, policy languages, and norms. We suggest that 'recursive recognition' is an important trend in the international political economy, where different types of organizations legitimate particular governance tools; especially ones producing common metrics. For example: a private foundation releases a study on best practices in policy area X, which is then referred to as best practice by an intergovernmental organization, an NGO, a firm, and a global professional service firm. Investigating the extent of this phenomenon requires addressing two blind spots. The first blind spot is conceptual in the reification of agency and authority based on organizational types. The second blind spot is empirical in identifying how pervasive recursive recognition has become, and how it affirms the reproduction of power asymmetries.
