Carola Kantz Abstract Why was the Kimberley Process (KP) able to devise a soft law institution ‘with teeth’ whereas the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) failed? In various policy fields and particularly in the extractive industries, multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) are becoming more important for regulating business behaviour. However, International Relations (IR) has as yet failed to explain why some succeeded in designing a strong international institution whereas others failed. To answer the research question the thesis first establishes a methodology for assessing strong and weak institutionalisation of MSIs. I argue that functional regime theory is inadequate at assessing MSIs as it does not capture institutional variety within soft law. Based on the Global Governance literature, the thesis establishes four indicators - membership, obligation, monitoring and enforcement, which allow us to evaluate the degree of institutionalisation. How can we account for institutional variety of MSIs? Mainstream IR theories are not able to explain the differences between the two case studies as they gloss over the differences in normative and material structures assuming that complete rationality and concerns for efficiency are critical when determining institutional design. I argue that norm entrepreneurs push for strong institutionalisation by the social mechanism of norm diffusion. Succeeding in diffusing the norm by using political strategies such as framing and structural power galvanises support for strong institutionalisation. Nevertheless, norm diffusion can fail when political opportunity structures empower norm opponents rather than norm entrepreneurs. I argue that the impact of norms varies, depending on distinct structural settings. Thus I unveil the circumstances under which new norms do not gain acceptance from the international community. In summary, when accounting for the MSI institutionalisation process, we not only need to pay attention to political strategy and agents, but must include in the analysis normative and material structures as drivers of or constraints to norm diffusion. 3 Acknowledgements Before I started this project, I was warned by some who had gone down this road that writing a PhD was a hard, at times frustrating and lonely journey. At that time, I did not know how right they were. However, along my way I was able to meet remarkable people who gave me vital intellectual and emotional support. It is they who made my PhD journey such a rewarding experience. I am indebted to my supervisor, Robert Falkner, for his encouragement, patience and continuous support. He was able to strike the hard balance of giving me intellectual and practical advice when I needed it whilst nonetheless granting me the space to develop my own ideas. Academically, this thesis has also benefited tremendously from discussions with the fellows of the Centre of International Studies (CIS) at LSE. I particularly would like to thank Andreas Antoniades, Moshe Gat, Linda Hantrais, John Kent, Eva Nag, Daniel Mugge, Mario Pianta and Leslie Vinjamuri for critically discussing some of my ideas. I am further grateful to Sally Razeen, John Sidel and Andrew Walter from the International Relations Department, who gave me a painful upgrade panel pushing me in directions I would have never gone alone. Moreover, the many participants and panellists of the various conferences I attended helped me to refine or drop some of my arguments. Particularly, I would like to mention Doris Fuchs and Markus Lederer, who encouraged me to turn a conference paper into a journal article. This thesis would have looked very different without the time and patience of my interview partners in governments, international organisations, NGOs and the private sector. The conversations with them not only introduced me to the exciting world of diamonds, oil and gas but also ensured that I would not drift too far off into the theoretical world of International Relations. My warmest thanks go to my friends and the PhD community at LSE who helped me through the ups and downs such a project normally entails. With my friends in Carr-Saunders Hall, Annalena Baerbock, Laure Criqui and Alexis Sztejnhom, I could not only discover my new home, London, but could ease some of my frustration through conversations with them, particularly in the first year. Natalie Benjamin-Pinel, Emma DeAngelis, Sasha Mills, Claudia Paradis and Evelyn Volkel 4 were always there to put my worries into perspective in long phone calls, during badminton or walks in the beautiful English countryside. With Lisa Aronsson, Cristina Barrios, Simon Curtis, Maijo Koivisto, Simona Manea, Serena Sharma and Chris Wright, I shared both the joy and sorrows of writing a PhD. I would like to thank particularly Jonas Meckling who read three chapters of my thesis and provided valuable feedback. Florian Wastl’s support and patience was incessant in all categories. Most of all, I would like to thank him for reminding me each day that there is so much more to life than research - and for making my life so wonderful. I dedicate this thesis to my parents. Without their love and support I would never have been able to start and finish this project. My gratitude to them goes far beyond that which can be expressed in words. 5 Table of Contents Declaration......................................................................................................................2 Abstract...........................................................................................................................3 Acknowledgements........................................................................................................ 4 Table of Contents........................................................................................................... 6 List of Figures............................................................................................................... 11 List of Tables................................................................................................................ 11 Abbreviations............................................................................................................... 12 1 Precious Stones, Black Gold and Institutional Design....................................IS 1.1 The Extractive Industries, Conflict and the Transparency Norm .................18 1.2 Accounting for Institutional Design ................................................................22 1.3 Institutional Design, Political Opportunity Structures and Norm Diffusion 28 1.4 Ideas, Norms and Multiple Stakeholders ........................................................31 1.5 Methodology.................................................................................................... 35 1.6 Overview of the Thesis....................................................................................39 2 The Institutional Design of Multi-stakeholder Initiatives............................. 41 2.1 Measuring the Impact of MSIs in International Relations ............................42 2.1.1 Old Wine in New Bottles? .....................................................................43 2.1.2 Measuring Institutions: Effectiveness, Compliance and Institutional Design....................................................................................................51 2.2 The Institutional Design of International Institutions ....................................55 2.2.1 Theories of Institutional Design .............................................................55 2.2.2 The Variety of Soft Law, MSI and the Extractive Industries ............. 57 2.2.3 Theories of Institutional Design and MSI .............................................63 2.3 The Institutional Design of MSIs

The unusual proximity of release dates by the world’s two most significant rock bands was echoed by the congruity of the songs’ themes: the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” and the Beatles’ “Revolution” were both responses to the political unrest and protest which characterised the spring and summer of 1968.

  • Holding De Beers Accountable for Trading Conflict Diamonds
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 24, Issue 4 2000 Article 13 Rich and Rare are the Gems They War: Holding De Beers Accountable for Trading Conflict Diamonds Lucinda Saunders∗ ∗ Copyright c 2000 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Rich and Rare are the Gems They War: Holding De Beers Accountable for Trading Conflict Diamonds Lucinda Saunders Abstract This Note focuses on the accountability of corporations for indirectly fueling civil wars by purchasing diamonds from insurgent groups. While many corporations are involved in the di- amond industry, De Beers controls a majority of the uncut diamond market, including mining, buying, and selling uncut diamonds. Therefore, this Note will analyze whether De Beers may be held liable for knowingly funding war criminals under the Alien Tort Claims Act (”ATCA”). Part I of this Note examines the trade in conflict diamonds in Angola and Sierra Leone and De Beers’s involvement in this trade. Part II examines case law developments under the ATCA and obstacles to recovery against multinational corporations (”MNCs”) under the ATCA. Part II also outlines efforts made by international organizations, the U.S. government, and MNCs to regulate the ac- tivities of MNCs in host countries. Part III argues that De Beers should be liable under the ATCA for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity by funding insurgent groups engaged in human rights violations. This Note concludes that the ATCA should be amended and offers a proposal for legislation to make MNCs liable for their involvement in human rights abuses.
