ABSTRACT The regulation of business is increasingly characterized by “soft” governance regimes that blur the boundaries of public and private authority, as signaled by the rapid proliferation of multistakeholder initiatives in global governance. This article explores how the spread of multistakeholderism creates opportunities for new forms of strategic

Powers and Practices in Labor Standards Enforcement
ABSTRACT Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement ...

Ratcheting of 316L stainless steel thin wire under tension-torsion loading
A series of cyclic tension-torsion tests under symmetric shear strain and asymmetric axial stress control in various loading paths are conducted on 100 ?m-diameter 316L steel wires applying a micro tensiontorsion fatigue testing apparatus. The ratcheting

A Complexity‐Based Approach to Migration Policy Change: The Case of the German Residence Act
ABSTRACT This paper adapts and applies existing indicators to measure the complexity of German migration policy over time. Building on recent scholarship that conceptualizes migration policy as multidimensional, I adapt a measurement strategy from the EUPLEX Project to capture three key components of regulatory complexity: structural, linguistic, and ...

Uniaxial Ratcheting Behaviour of SA 508 Steel [PDF]
In piping materials, such as SA508 steel, used for pressurized heavy water reactors of nuclear power plants, ratcheting is manifested as a critical problem since it may alter the fatigue life of the said structure.

ABSTRACT When and how do international standards influence domestic policies? The literature identifies a range of ways international standards may relate to domestic regulations—including by exporting, substituting, supplanting, or bolstering national rules—creating theoretical ambiguity.

Constitutive Modeling for Cyclic Plasticity and Ratcheting
This study critically evaluates the performance of a number of constitutive models in predicting ratcheting responses of carbon steel for a set of uniaxial and biaxial loading histories. Two types of modeling schemes, coupled and uncoupled, are evaluated.

The Environmental Race to the Bottom, Revisited
ABSTRACT This study revisits the environmental race to the bottom thesis in the United States, which argues that states compete for mobile capital by relaxing environmental regulations. Examining state‐level enforcement of federal surface mining and air pollution control regulation over a 35‐year period, we find robust evidence of strategic interaction

Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...
