Description

<p>This paper argues, first of all, that the process of economic globalization has led to the privatization of authority in global governance, giving rise to the situation of “polycentric soft governance,” where an inter-governmental organization (IGO) is required to elicit the cooperation of non-state actors in order to attain its governance goal, using economic incentives. It then argues that the IGO is expected to engage in orchestration in order to minimize the risk of goal displacement associated with this governance situation. Furthermore, since there is so much uncertainty concerning the effectiveness of different governance mechanisms, the main purpose of orchestration becomes the coordination of different policy experiments to find out what works best for the purpose. It is also posited that such orchestration can be successfully performed only if the IGO has attained focality in the issue area in question. The last section of the paper then evaluates the validity of this hypothesis through the empirical analysis of the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), with a focus on the orchestration performed by the UN Business and Human Rights Working Group (UNWG-BHR).</p>
