The U.S. economy has grown increasingly interconnected with other economies around the world, a phenomenon often referred to as globalization. As U.S. businesses expand globally, however, various groups across the social and economic spectrum have expressed their concerns over the economic, social, and political impact of this activity. Over the past 20 years, multinational corporations and nations have adopted voluntary, legally enforceable, and industryspecific codes of conduct to address many of these concerns. For instance, the 2008-2009 financial crisis spurred Congress and governments in Europe to increase regulation of financial firms, and the European Union has adopted directives to govern executive pay and bonuses. Congress will continue to play a pivotal role in addressing the large number of issues regarding internationally applied corporate codes of conduct that remain to be negotiated.
