CAROLINA ENTREPRENEURIAL INITIATIVE “structuring Transnational Fields of Governance: Networks, Legitimation and the Evolution of Ethical Sourcing” Speaker: Tim Bartley, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Sociology g||g Indiana Umversity-Bloomington • flrl f Noon-1 p.m., Hamilton Hall 271 aflP Pizza and drinks served Social entrepreneurs have been influential in fusing social and environmental goals with enterprise. Brand-sensitive firms are increasingly adopting voluntary standards for environmental sustainability and decent working conditions in their supply chains. Yet as these initiatives become more popular, new questions emerge about how competition and cooperation among standard-setting bodies plays out how actors seek legitimacy for these increasingly prominent practices, and how new “fields” of governance get structured at the transnational level. Dr. Bartley will discuss his research on the growing inter-connectedness of various “ethical sourcing” initiatives, from fair trade to sustainable forestry to fair labor. In examining these issues, Bartley's work reveals the often unanticipated ways in which ethical sourcing initiatives are getting institutionalized as features of global governance, not merely labels in the marketplace. Tim Bartley is an assistant professor of sociology at Indiana University. His research examines the emergence of new institutional forms and the challenoes of globalization for regulation, standard-setting and social movements His current work looks at the evolution of “transnational private regulation ’ governino labor and environmental conditions, the interactions between nongovernmental organizations and firms and, in anew project, the uses and abuses of corporate social responsibility in developing countries.
