1 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne The rise of service standards between socialization and commodification Jean-Christophe Graz

2 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne Explore the growing influence of international standardisation on the political organisation of the rise of a worldwide service economy and society at large.

3 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne Outline Services & standardisation Standards and transnational hybrid authority Institutional setting for dis/embedding standards from/into society: commodification versus socialisation

4 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne Outline Services & standardisation Standards and transnational hybrid authority Institutional setting for dis/embedding standards from/into society: commodification versus socialisation

5 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne The rise of the service economy >70% GDP and employment in OECD >50% GDP and employment in LDCs Regulatory Reform Digitalisation Internationalisation --> outsourcing / offshoring services

6 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne International standardisation Technical specifications partially voluntary Explicitly documented Published and sold Sometimes referred to in public regulation

7 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne How standards matter? Reorganisation of labour process Dis/embedding market access Desegregation of labour process into simple work sequences Industrialisation – codification – quality & security requirements

8 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne Resistance to service standards Intangible and interpersonal relation Synchronisation of service production & consumption Regulated professions Quality and security uncertainties

9 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne Standards facing quality & security uncertainty Market transparency ? Strategic interaction? Path-dependant institutions? Capitalist State/economy reogranisation?

12 Globalisation & transnational private authority State - nonstate authority ≠ zero sum game costs/gains ≠ additional instance of governance Scale & density (7300 Ingos/7500 Igos) (Yearbook of International Organizations) Relation with the State Formal and informal complementarity and subsidiarity

13 Jean-Christophe Graz, Université de Lausanne International political economy approach Transnational hybrid authority Range of actors involved Private firms –––> public actors & states Scope of issues concerned Technical specifications ––> management methods, labour relations, societal issues Scale of coalition building and level of institutional compromised State/market relations ––> deterritorialisation & transnationalisation of regulatory practices
