Abstract

[fre] La norme ISO 14001 est un dispositif institutionnel susceptible de diminuer les coûts de transaction. Néanmoins, la phase d'élaboration de ce dispositif constitue un espace stratégique où s'exercent des forces diverses susceptibles d'influencer la rédaction du référentiel dans un sens favorable à des intérêts privés et ce, parfois au détriment de l'intérêt général. Par une approche fine de l'histoire de la norme ISO 14001, nous identifions plusieurs enjeux stratégiques sous-jacents à la construction de cette norme et arguons que son efficacité environnementale et son efficience économique se construisent de manière significative lors de son élaboration. Plusieurs implications en termes de politique économique sont ainsi mises en évidence. [eng] The ISO 14001 standard is an institutional device aiming at reducing transaction costs. Nevertheless, the standard-setting process constitutes a strategic area where several forces interact to influence the redaction in a sense favourable to private interests rather than public interest. The history of the ISO 14001 design enables us to identify several strategic issues embedded in the standard-setting process. Consequently, the overall environmental effectiveness and economic efficiency of the ISO 14001 standard are built in a significant way during the standard-setting stage. Several policy implications are stressed.
