I am glad to inform you that our project on the theme “Patterns of 
transnational regulation: how networks and institutions shaped societies 
and markets throughout the 20th C.”  got a positive response from the 
Swiss National Science Foundation. Several Ph.D. positions will 
be funded by the project. One of them is related to the research module 
close to your research interests. As the topic is quite sharp, your 
expertise on insurance might be an asset for identifying 
bright  prospective Ph.D. students. Please do not hesitate to 
disseminate the information.

The module explores how disparate practices experienced in the emergence 
of multinational social benefits networks were consolidated into 
standardised and regulated processes expected to be valid for many other 
lines of insurance business. It examines the unification of insurance 
business in the context of the growing internationalisation of the 
service economy. It also provides a first attempt to probe the limits of 
transnational private insurance governance against the backdrop of the 
current global economic crisis. It focuses on the case of insurance on 
life-related issues such as private pension schemes, which appears to be 
particularly relevant for research work as they highlight the 
controversial political implications of private social benefits*. *The 
project addresses the following question: To which extent the early and 
ad-hoc experience of coordinating private actors’ practices regarding 
multinational social benefits set the stage for the European standards 
and regulation to become the avant-garde of the transnationalisation of 
insurance services?
