Industry Associations and Transnational Governance
Friday, June 10, 2016 | 9:00 AM EDT - 5:00 PM EDT
This conference will bring together practitioners and scholars to discuss the role of industry (or trade) associations in transnational governance. It is organized by the International Organizations Interest Group (IOIG) of the American Society for International Law, the Rutgers Law School Center for Corporate Law and Governance, and the Rutgers Institute for Professional Education.
The aim is to deepen our understanding of how trade associations develop and administer standards and rules for governing their members and their industries (e.g. pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, financial products), both within and across borders. The discussion will shed light on the dynamic between industry associations and the formal law-making bodies of governments and international organizations and highlight the opportunities and challenges that associations encounter in carrying out their governance functions.
