企业对民主的挑战：利用国际法。全球企业的崛起是对澳大利亚民主的严重挑战。企业已经走向全球，但确保它们服务于公众利益、纳税和遵守国家法律的机制却没有。到目前为止，国际法还没能帮上忙。该项目将为国家与企业之间的关系提供新的理论解释，并确定对国际法和国际机构的改革，以纠正当前的不平衡。该项目及其将培养的新一代研究人员将增强澳大利亚的能力，使全球企业遵守民主标准、法律问责制和税收，并使澳大利亚成为维持这种平衡的世界领导者。

The Corporate Challenge to Democracy: Harnessing International Law. 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.
