    Chapter 11. Fire Alarms and Democratic Accountability Charles M. Cameron and Sanford C. Gordon

    Chapter 11. Fire Alarms and Democratic Accountability Charles M. Cameron and Sanford C. Gordon 1 Introduction Accountability is a situation that prevails in any relationship between a principal and agent in which the latter takes some action for which she may be \held to account" { that is, made to answer for those actions under a system of rewards and sanctions administered by the former. In a democratic setting, the electorate are the principals and public officials the agents; rewards and sanctions the loss or retention of the benefits, privileges, and powers of office-holding. Absent electoral accountability, citizens must fall back on the benevolence of their rulers or just plain luck. History shows these are weak reeds indeed. Thus, the accountability (or unaccountability) of elected officials to voters is a key component of any comprehensive theory of democratic governance. Electoral accountability faces huge obstacles in practice. One of the most pernicious is the problem of asymmetric information: while knowing what politicians are up to is surely a critical ingredient of holding incumbent officeholders to account, for most voters, becoming and remaining informed about whether elected officials are actually meeting their obligations can be tedious, time- consuming and difficult. How many citizens have the leisure to research the voting record of their member of Congress, for instance? And even then, outside of a few specific areas, how many have the knowledge to assess whether a given legislative enactment actually improved their welfare, all things considered? A lack of transparency about actions and the obscurity between means and ends can render nominal accountability completely moot in practice.1 In the face of prohibitive information costs, a simple intuition is the following: any mechanism that lowers informational costs for voters ought to enhance electoral accountability.

    Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges

    LAURA T. RAYNOLDS Professor, Department of Sociology, Director, Center for Fair & Alternative Trade, Colorado State University Email: [email protected] Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges ABSTRACT Fairtrade International certification is the primary social certification in the agro-food sector in- tended to promote the well-being and empowerment of farmers and workers in the Global South. Although Fairtrade’s farmer program is well studied, far less is known about its labor certification. Helping fill this gap, this article provides a systematic account of Fairtrade’s labor certification system and standards and com- pares it to four other voluntary programs addressing labor conditions in global agro-export sectors. The study explains how Fairtrade International institutionalizes its equity and empowerment goals in its labor certifica- tion system and its recently revised labor standards. Drawing on critiques of compliance-based labor stand- ards programs and proposals regarding the central features of a ‘beyond compliance’ approach, the inquiry focuses on Fairtrade’s efforts to promote inclusive governance, participatory oversight, and enabling rights. I argue that Fairtrade is making important, but incomplete, advances in each domain, pursuing a ‘worker- enabling compliance’ model based on new audit report sharing, living wage, and unionization requirements and its established Premium Program. While Fairtrade pursues more robust ‘beyond compliance’ advances than competing programs, the study finds that, like other voluntary initiatives, Fairtrade faces critical challenges in implementing its standards and realizing its empowerment goals. KEYWORDS fair trade, Fairtrade International, multi-stakeholder initiatives, certification, voluntary standards, labor rights INTRODUCTION Voluntary certification systems seeking to improve social and environmental conditions in global production have recently proliferated.

INTRODUCTION The concept of corporate responsibility or corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) keeps evolving since it appeared. The emphasis was first placed on business people’s social conscience rather than on the company itself, which was well reflected by Howard Bowen’s landmark book, Social Responsibilities of the Businessman.1 Then CSR was defined as responsibilities to society, which extends beyond economic and legal obligations by corporations.2 Since then, corporate responsibility is thought to begin where the law ends. 3 In other words, the concept of social responsibility largely excludes legal obedience from the concept of social responsibility. An analysis of 37 of the most used definitions of CSR also shows “voluntary” as one of the most common dimensions.4 Put differently, corporate responsibility reflects the belief that corporations have duties beyond generating profits for their shareholders.
