Assembling an Experimentalist Regime: Transnational Governance Interactions in the Forest Sector
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a variety of pathways and mechanisms which promote productive interactions in regime complexes based on the design principles of experimentalist governance, and argue that it is the experimentalist features of this initiative and its regulatory interactions that make it possible to build up a flexible and adaptive transnational governance regime from an assemblage of interconnected pieces.

Assembling an experimentalist regime: Transnational governance interactions in the forest sector

Comparing forest certification schemes: the case of ratcheting standards in the forest sector
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the factors driving improvement of industry-sponsored private regulatory standards under conditions of competition in three-country contexts between 1995 and 2005, and explore how transnational and national actors created important moments of public comparison in which substantive as well as accountability standards were ratcheted up while they diffused more broadly across industry.
