摘要

经过长期激烈的政策辩论,德国议会于2021年6月通过了《供应链尽职调查法案》,要求对大公司进行强制性尽职调查(MDD),要求他们对其海外供应链运营的影响负责。运用话语代理方法,从政策文件和21个主要利益相关者访谈中获得证据,我们分析了为德国走向MDD铺平道路的政治策略。决定性的战略是一个创新的基准和监测机制,为法律提供合法性,并为MDD支持者打开了机会之窗。民间社会和支持他们的政治家们利用这一机会之窗建立了广泛的政治联盟,其中包括一些公司的支持。我们讨论了这些发现的后果,以理解新出现的外国公司问责制规范背后的国内政治。

From voluntary to mandatory corporate accountability: The politics of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act
Following a long-standing and highly contested policy debate, in June 2021, the German parliament passed the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act requiring mandatory due diligence (MDD) of large companies, holding them accountable for the impacts of their supply chain operations abroad. Applying the discursive agency approach and using evidence from policy documents and 21 interviews with key stakeholders, we analyze the political strategies that paved the way toward MDD in Germany. The decisive strategy was an innovative benchmarking and monitoring mechanism that provided the legitimacy for a law and opened a window of opportunity for MDD supporters. Civil society and supportive politicians used this window of opportunity to build broad political coalitions that included the support of some companies. We discuss the ramifications of these findings for understanding the domestic politics behind the newly emerging norm of foreign corporate accountability.

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
