Abstract

Recent legislative efforts to address modern slavery emphasise corporate disclosure as the primary regulatory tool. New modern slavery disclosure laws harden the expectation that business will conduct itself responsibly; however, they are founded on a soft approach to enforcement which is essentially outsourced to the market. This paper questions the effectiveness of this disclosure-based enforcement mechanism, which primarily relies on a narrowly defined concept of ‘the market’ as the basis for its regulatory strategy. Drawing on comparisons with alternative legislative enforcement frameworks to counter foreign bribery and illegal logging, this paper highlights the opportunities and limitations of reliance on market forces for regulation and suggests a path forward for enhancing the modern slavery enforcement approach.
外包执行现代奴隶制:克服基于市场的披露模式的局限性
最近针对现代奴隶制的立法努力强调公司信息披露是主要的监管工具。新的现代奴隶制披露法强化了企业将负责任行事的期望;然而,它们是建立在一种软执法方法的基础上的,这种方法基本上是外包给市场的。本文对这种基于披露的执行机制的有效性提出了质疑,该机制主要依赖于一个狭义的“市场”概念作为其监管策略的基础。通过与打击外国贿赂和非法采伐的其他立法执法框架的比较,本文强调了依赖市场力量进行监管的机会和局限性,并提出了加强现代奴隶制执法方法的前进道路。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Industrial Relations takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to the subject of the world of work. It welcomes contributions which examine the way individuals, groups, organisations and institutions shape the employment relationship. The Journal takes the view that comprehensive understanding of industrial relations must take into account economic, political and social influences on the power of capital and labour, and the interactions between employers, workers, their collective organisations and the state.
