Abstract

Over the past two decades, a number of national policies have been implemented with the aim of holding companies accountable for their actions abroad. While previous studies have examined the political processes leading to the formulation of these policies, there remains a significant gap in our understanding of public support for such measures. This paper seeks to address this gap by examining the extent to which domestic audiences endorse the concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction concerning the conditions under which natural resources are extracted abroad. The analysis presented in this paper is grounded in a representative online survey conducted in the United States, encompassing a sample size of 660 respondents.
