"This study analyses the global rise of disclosure legislations as an approach to governing labour standards in global supply chains. It is one of the first studies to systematically map and analyse the institutional design and effectiveness of disclosure legislations, and to evaluate its capacity to steer corporate behaviour in the area of labour standards. It proposes a typology to analyse the various forms of disclosure legislations that States are passing, and provides a framework that scholars, policymakers, and other stakeholders can use to evaluate new legislation as it is passed, including its stringency, design, and institutional effectiveness."²
