説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Recent research on regulation and governance suggests that a mixture of public and private interventions is necessary to improve working conditions and environmental standards within global supply chains. Yet less attention has been directed to how these different forms of regulation interact in practice. The form of these interactions is investigated through a contextualized comparison of suppliers producing for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ewlett‐<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">P</jats:styled-content>ackard, one of the world's leading global electronics firms. Using a unique dataset describing <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ewlett‐<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">P</jats:styled-content>ackard's supplier audits over time, coupled with qualitative fieldwork at a matched pair of suppliers in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">M</jats:styled-content>exico and the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>zech <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">R</jats:styled-content>epublic, this study shows how private and public regulation can interact in different ways — sometimes as complements; other times as substitutes — depending upon both the national contexts and the specific issues being addressed. Results from our analysis show that private interventions do not exist within a vacuum, but rather these efforts to enforce labour and environmental standards are affected by state and non‐governmental actors.</jats:p>
