日益激烈的经济竞争，加上跨国激进主义的强大威胁，促使企业制定新的政治战略。在过去十年中，越来越多的公司采取了行业自律政策-公司行为守则、社会和环境标准以及审计和监测制度。《私营部门的公共角色》通过三个不同的案例--环境、劳工和信息隐私--探讨了行业自律现象，在这些案例中，企业领导人似乎都把行业自律作为对竞争压力的适当回应。政治和经济风险、声誉效应以及企业界内部的学习都会影响自我监管策略的采用，但在不同行业和问题领域，自我监管策略的强度和特征存在很大差异。行业自律提出了关于私营部门在监管和治理中的地位以及在迅速全球化时代行业的问责制、合法性和权力的重大问题。
Increasing economic competition combined with the powerful threat of transnational activism are pushing firms to develop new political strategies. Over the past decade a growing number of corporations have adopted policies of industry self-regulation --corporate codes of conduct, social and environmental standards, and auditing and monitoring systems. A Public Role for the Private Sector explores the phenomenon of industry self-regulation through three different cases --environment, labor, and information privacy --where corporate leaders appear to be converging on industry self-regulation as the appropriate response to competing pressures. Political and economic risks, reputational effects, and learning within the business community all influence the adoption of a self-regulatory strategy, but there are wide variations in the strength and character of it across industries and issue areas. Industry self-regulation raises significant questions about the place of the private sector in regulation and governance, and the accountability, legitimacy and power of industry at a time of rapid globalization.
