Our paper “Voter perceptions and the politics of hidden costs in unilateral sustainable supply chain regulations” was just published in the European Journal of Political Research (open access). We explore how information disclosure rules enable governments to implement market access restrictions compliant with binding trade liberalisation commitments while (a priori) obscuring their costs to voters – thus providing a potentially effective and feasible avenue towards global supply chain regulations. This is the third in a package of papers with Dennis Kolcava and Thomas Bernauer, focusing on the cross-national demand for supply chain governance across the OECD (Nature Sustainability, link), and middle-income economies (Nature Communications, open access).
