While some scholars dismiss transnational private governance instruments, such as codes of conduct, social auditing and monitoring initiatives, as an instrument of corporate power, propaganda and control, others provide a positive assessment. This paper criticises both approaches by applying concepts developed by the French philosopher Jacques Ranciere. Against the background of worker-driven discontent in the Nike supply chain, the paper argues why a Rancierian reading may offer an alternative way of conceptualising the politics of transnational private governance, one that provides a more promising way to 'ground' it in both conceptual and empirical terms.
