The rising power of global corporations is a serious challenge to Australian democracy. Corporations have gone global, but the mechanisms to ensure they serve the public interest, pay tax and comply with national laws have not. So far, international law has not been able to help. This project will develop a new theoretical account of the relationship between states and corporations and identify reforms to international law and institutions to remedy the current imbalance. This project, and the new generation of researchers it will train, will enhance Australia’s capacity to hold global corporations to democratic standards, legal accountability and taxation, and establish Australia as a world leader in maintaining that balance going forward.

全球企业的崛起是对澳大利亚民主的严重挑战。公司已经走向全球，但确保它们服务于公共利益、纳税和遵守国家法律的机制却没有。到目前为止，国际法没有能够提供帮助。该项目将对国家与公司之间的关系进行新的理论阐述，并确定对国际法和机构的改革，以纠正目前的不平衡。该项目及其将培训的新一代研究人员将提高澳大利亚使全球公司遵守民主标准、法律的问责制和税收的能力，并使澳大利亚成为今后保持这种平衡的世界领导者。
