"Rules without Rights": Professor Tim Bartley ROCKING OUR PRIORS

    • Education

Corporate codes of conduct have become the only game in town. The global economy is governed through private regulation. Companies contract auditors to monitor labour and environmental practices in their supply chains.

In his new book, Professor Tim Bartley explores 3 questions:

- How did we get here? What's the political economy behind industry self-regulation?
- Does it work? Does it improve labour and environmental practices?
- Why does it only enable marginal improvements?
- What's the alternative? How could we improve upon rules without rights?

Together, we discuss these four questions.
