Fragile non-state authority : the long and winding road to legitimate power. aThis enriching book provides a novel analysis of the organizational processes behind the establishment, maintenance, and challenges of non-state authority. In doing so, it compares three transnational, multi-stakeholder standard-setting processes: those of the Forest Stewardship Council, the Marine Stewardship Council, and the International Organization for Standardization on the subject of social responsibility (ISO 26000). The authors theorize the fragility of authority defined as legitimate power. They examine the problematic nature of the long-term transnational multi-stakeholder work upon which this authority is based, including the risks of being ruled out by competing rule setters or being split apart by the centrifugal forces inherent in the multi-stakeholder logics. 0aInternational organizationxStandards. 0aInternational agenciesxStandards. 7aElectronic books.2lcsh1 aBoström, Magnus.2 aEdward Elgar Publishing.1 z9781845429041 (hardback)z184542904440uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781845429041.xml c28646d28646 00102lcc4070aDLbDLcOAd2021-02-15l0oJZ4841 .H35 2010r2021-02-15uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781845429041.xmlw2021-02-15yEBOOK
