Abstract

Der Weltverband der Spielzeugindustrie hat sich bereits 1995 einen Verhaltenskodex zur Sicherung der Arbeitsbedingungen in China gegeben, dem jedoch jahrelang von den meisten relevanten Unternehmen wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde. Seitdem er seit 2004 von den globalen Marktfuehrern aus Industrie und Handel unterstuetzt wird, etabliert er sich zum global gueltigen Mindeststandard. Neben der einheitlichen Koordinierung der Branchenfuehrer ist die Institutionalisierung der Kontrolle und Durchsetzung eine entscheidende Voraussetzung fuer privat organisierte globale Mindeststandards. Dieser Artikel untersucht die Gruende fuer die Akzeptanz der Branchenvereinbarung und deren Verbreitung.
