Though these sustainable standards are often considered as tools of liberal regulation for facilitating corporate governance, I will show how I have come to judge these standards as support of social mobilization in Latin America and why I decided to pursue this research on the « Corporate sustainable standards » mobilizing force with Tucson's Rosemont Mine case for testing factors of use in extreme institutional context.
