Sub-theme 32: the Privatization of Regulation Convenors: Marie-Laure Djelic, ESSEC Business School, France (djelic@essec.edu) Sébastien Mena, Cass Business School, City University London, UK (sebastien.mena.1@city.ac.uk) Luc Brès, Laval University, Canada (Luc.Bres@fsa.ulaval.ca) Call for papers Despite popular belief, the rise and spread of neoliberalism in the 1980s did not trigger massive deregulation. Instead, it was associated with an inflation of regulations, regulatory bodies and compliance actors, constituting a whole new governance system, often with transnational scope and reach. This evolution can be captured through the notion of ‘regulatory capitalism’ (Levi-Faur, 2005) and it implies profound changes in regulatory dynamics worldwide. Once developed mostly by states in a ‘command and control’ fashion through sovereign or multilateral processes, regulations today reflect the polycentric and diffuse nature of power in the modern world economy. Contemporary regulatory processes take place in multi-actor platforms, where business, public, and civil-society actors engage in the development, implementation and enforcement of regulations – ultimately leading to the partial privatization and associated commodification of global regulation (Djelic, 2006). This sub-theme aims at exploring the consequences of partial privatization and commodification upon regulatory journeys that we break up in four main moments: inception, diffusion, adoption, and effectuation. We elicit studies, from all management-related disciplines, that propose to explore regulatory journeys with a specific focus on the dynamics induced by their hybridity and transnational nature. Possible questions include, but are not limited to:
Inception: Rule-making is often externalized by nation-states to new arenas of actors (Mena & Palazzo, 2012). How does this externalization complement, outperform, replace, or corrupt more traditional forms of regulatory processes and regulation?
Diffusion: Multi-actor regulatory dynamics proliferate and generate a ‘market’ for regulation (Turcotte, Reinecke, & den Hond, 2014). How does proliferation impact the diffusion of regulations? Their legitimacy for various stakeholders? Their integrity? And their overall effectiveness?
Adoption: Multi-actor regulatory dynamics come with the densification of an industry of ‘intermediaries’ (Levi Faur and Starobin 2014, Brès & Gond, 2014). How are the meaning and impact of monitoring and compliance negotiated, constructed, and enacted in the context of multi-actor regulatory platforms and associated intermediary industries?
Effectuation: Ideally, regulation should help prevent or solve conflicts in an efficient and just manner. Are contemporary regulatory dynamics bringing along more efficiency? Do they also generate justice, and do they do so in a legitimate way?
