Fragmented and globalised production structures, consisting of numerous different actors interconnected through contracts, pose major difficulties for concerted governance. This can be seen in diverse examples, such as the catastrophe of the collapsed Rana Plaza factory building in Bangladesh or the economic fiasco of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant construction project in Finland. The author looks at how contract boundary spanning governance mechanisms can be used to govern fragmentation and what this might mean for the doctrine of privity of contract.
