    The Role and Impact of the Private Standards in the Ethical Business Regulation

     

    The privatization, liberalization and deregulation processes, engaged during the Eighties, supported the development of the market regulation. This kind of regulation showed its weaknesses by the means of the various ethical scandals having touched many multinationals these last twenty years. Facing the retreat of the State and the multiplication of this kind of scandals, private organizations emerged in order to take part in the regulation of the worldwide economy. Our thesis project proposes to analyze the relationship between obligatory state regulation on the one hand and private regulation founded on a voluntary adhesion on the other. It is important to us to study the mechanisms inciting the companies to adhere to these new private Standards as their modalities of application inside the company.
