本文以三种方式扩展了企业社会责任背景下的多利益相关者倡议（MSI）。首先，我概述了一个框架来分析参与MSI的演员之间的耦合强度。MSI的特点是由众多的本地网络，嵌入在一个更广泛的全球网络，我认为，更紧密的耦合（本地网络内）和松散的耦合（本地网络之间）共存。第二，我认为，这种耦合的共存使MS Is产生的政策结果，解决跨国监管环境的条件。我认为，MSI的组织方式使他们能够科普三个挑战：稳定性，灵活性和治理的合法性。反思这些挑战，本文确定了一些问题，相关的多边机构在跨国治理中的作用。第三，我讨论了联合国全球契约作为一个说明性的案例，并检查有关其稳定性，灵活性和合法性的问题和机会。
This paper extends scholarship on multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) in the context of corporate social responsibility in three ways. First, I outline a framework to analyze the strength of couplings between actors participating in MSIs. Characterizing an MSI as consisting of numerous local networks that are embedded in a wider global network, I argue that tighter couplings (within local networks) and looser couplings (between local networks) coexist. Second, I suggest that this coexistence of couplings enables MS Is to generate policy outcomes which address the conditions of a transnational regulatory context. I argue that MSIs' way of organizing enables them to cope with three challenges: the stability, flexibility, and legitimacy of governance. Reflecting on these challenges, the article identifies a number of problems related to MSIs' role in transnational governance. Third, I discuss the UN Global Compact as an illustrative case and examine problems and opportunities related to its stability, flexibility, and legitimacy.
