Responsible Business: Self-Governance and Law in Transnational Economic Transactions is a hardcover volume by Olaf Dilling; Martin Herberg; Gerd Winter. SKU sku-9873694. Listed under Commercial Law Books, it is part of the Oñati International Series in Law and Society.

The book examines how global markets can produce effects on public goods, including the environment, human health and consumer interests, that escape state-based regulation. Its essays study self-regulation by transnational industry through multinational corporations, production networks and industry-NGO partnerships.

They examine those arrangements in terms of organization, problem-solving and legitimation, then consider how legal concepts appear in self-regulation, how formal law uses self-regulatory solutions and how law can support private governance. The volume addresses empirical and legal research on these arrangements and the sociological aspects of company and insolvency law.
