WP10: Convergence and divergence of repertoires
We compare different practices of intermediaries and develop a typology. At the same time, we refine theoretical insights on the role of intermediaries in transnational governance.
Key activities:
- Development of a multidimensional typology of intermediaries based on insights from work packages 3-9
- Analysis of convergence and divergence in due diligence repertoires between different types of intermediaries
- Exploration of network analysis to identify interactions and positions of intermediaries
- Refinement of the theoretical framework used on the role of intermediaries in regulatory processes
