“…But there is also increasing recognition of the proliferation of transnational rule-making and institution-building-some of which has a law-like and quasi-judicial character-as well as of its relative effectiveness (Djelic and Sahlin-Anderson, 2006;Graz and Nölke, 2008). More controversially, the normative and empirical legitimacy of transnational governance arrangements has been discussed among scholars in the social sciences and legal studies (Bernstein, 2005;Krisch and Kingsbury, 2006;Hurrelmann et al, 2007).…”

The increasing relevance of transnational governance for the regulation of crossborder economic relations in many public policy fields has given rise to debates about its legitimacy. This paper provides an introduction to normative and empirical approaches and suggests to bridge between them by exploring normative perspectives through the views and strategies of actors practically involved in transnational governance. Based on a synthesis of contributions from different fields of transnational governance, it is suggested that a perceived lack of fit between the regulators' legitimacy claims and the addressees' expectations, if expressed as protest and criticism by the latter, can lead transnational governance institutions to adjust to demands for more inclusiveness, expertise and procedural fairness. However, the rising level of expertise required from participants, stakeholders and publics to meet normative criteria for greater participation and procedural fairness creates new and yet unresolved problems.

Das von der Governance-Perspektive gespeiste gemeinsame Interesse an den Bedingungen, unter denen Wirtschaftsunternehmen Beiträge zum grenzüberschreitenden Regieren leisten, und daran, wie diese Beiträge zu bewerten sind, hat zu einer verstärkten Nähe zwischen zumindest Teilen der Internationalen Politischen Ökonomie und dem neuen Mainstream der deutschen IB beigetragen (stellvertretend dazu Graz/Nölke 2008). 15 Dadurch sind die internationalen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen wieder sichtbarer auf der IB-Forschungsagenda geworden, die sie noch in den 1970er Jahren (z.…”

Zusammenfassung: Der Beitrag analysiert die Entwicklung der Internationalen Beziehungen in Deutschland. Nach einem knappen Abriss der Geschichte der IB konzentrieren sich die Autoren auf die Entwicklung seit den 1990er Jahren. Mit Blick auf Professionalisierung, Institutionalisierung und Internationalisierung konstatieren sie eine Erfolgsgeschichte für die Teildisziplin, die sich mit dem Konzept von Global Governance ein integratives Forschungsdach geschaffen hat. Zugleich warnen die Autoren vor Selbstzufriedenheit, denn die Erfolgsgeschichte der IB könnte mittelfristig ihre eigenen Grundlagen aushebeln.Schlagwörter: Internationale Beziehungen · Sektionsgeschichte · Professionalisierung · Internationali sierung Abstract: The article deals with the development of International Relations in Germany. Following a brief history of German IR, the authors focus on its development since the 1990s. For this period, German IR has been a success story with respect to professionalisation, institutionalisation and internationalisation. Furthermore, with the Global Governance concept, German IR has even established a thematic umbrella to further its integration and identity. Still, the authors caution against complacency as the success story of German IR has the in-built potential to eradicate its very own foundations.

AstractThis contribution focuses on the relation between CSR ideas and policies. On the basis of a series of interviews and documents' analyses, it identifies three professional élites -activist-lawyers; financial analysts; and international accountants -as the "architects" of the current debate on CSR policies, in the EU context. The author questions why and how they succeeded in shaping the public debate on business social and environmental accountability. He claims that their views on CSR are underpinned by rather different underlying rationales, coming from Law, Finance, and Accountancy, and by distinct professional interests. The chapter shows how these actors used these arguments to push their (partially) competing agendas and professional claims. In particular, the paper focuses on the impact of these professions on the European regulatory debate on social and environmental reporting, as a lens to study these distinct approaches. The conclusions highlight the need for a more reflexive sociological approach to CSR, which would reveal and openly discuss the co-existence -under the officialized story -of different rationales and interests.As different ideas about what CSR is would have major social, economic and environmental implications, it also suggests that advances in CSR depend also from the ability of law-and policy-makers to design a regulatory framework that would reconcile these different instances.
