“…However, this literature, depending on the discipline (economics, sociology, political science) uses multiple concepts -albeit blurred -to name these collaborations: co-regulation, enforced self-regulation, meta-regulation, hybrid regulation and so on. This abundance of terms led to a fuzzy understanding of these collabo-rations depending on the analyses' focus: their emergence (Mayer and Gereffi, 2010;Coglianese and Mendelson, 2010), the risks of regulatory capture and loss of transparency (Verbruggen and Havinga, 2014), etc. As suggested by Verbruggen and Havinga (2015a,b), one common feature of this literature is that these collaborations are an output of the regulatory/political process (standard-setting, implementation, enforcement and monitoring) and appear as a mean to comply with a regulatory standard.…”
