1 Tentative governance by soft regulation – the case of nanotechnologies Bärbel Dorbeck-Jung Contribution to Conference Tentative Governance in Emerging S&T 28/29 October 2010

2 Soft regulation Soft regulation: rules of conduct which in principle have no legally binding force, but which nevertheless have effects in regulatory practice to achieve certain policy goals (Senden 2004). Examples: technical standards, codes of conduct, best practices

3 Central question How can soft regulation enhance responsible nanotechnological development? Answers… Effectiveness problems Effectiveness enhancement (lessons)

4 (Potential) effectiveness problems nano soft regulation 1. Voluntary self-reporting schemes 2. Voluntary codes of conduct 3. Voluntary nano reference values at the workplace → implementation and compliance problems, questions on appropriateness regulatory tool

5 Effectiveness enhancement Framework of responsive regulation (Ayres and Braithwaite 1992; Baldwin & Black 2008; Dorbeck-Jung et al 2010) Unit of analysis: (multi-level) governance system (Hood et al 2001) Co-evolutionary institutional perspective

6 Effectiveness interrelated conditions (lessons) Consistent & unambiguous regulation Strong binding force Strong interest in compliance Supportive implementation Knowledgeable oversight Responsive enforcement and adaptation

7 Exposure limits nano- materials NL Regulatory system: EU directives and principles (precautionary and ALARA) National legislation International standards Safety guidelines Ministerial recommendation on nano reference values (NRVs) → multi-level hard and soft regulation

8 Consistent and unambiguous regulation Regulatory system seems to be consistent However, parts are ambiguous (general duty to care, EU principles and Aug Ministerial Recommendation on NRVs ) → Improve unambiguity

9 Strong binding force soft regulation → Confer binding force (Recommendation Dutch Minister on NRV’s) → Attribute quasi-legal status (harmonized standards)

10 Strong interest in compliance Reputational advantages Economic advantages Keeping the advantages of soft regulation → More insights into interests needed

11 Supportive implementation/compliance Strengthen interests in implementation Information distribution Provide guidelines Funding → Extent measures

12 Summary and conclusion Lessons Next steps: - empirical research - translational research: taking social learning seriously → NanoNext projects on governance arrangements, standardization, regulatory partnerships

13 The end Thank you for your attention !!
