Industries extractives, ONG, Normes comptables, IASB, Transparence, PlaidoyerRésumé
Lorsque l'International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) a préparé une proposition de norme relative aux activités extractives en 2010, elle incluait une question relative à la campagne Publiez Ce Que Vous Payez (PWYP), plaidant pour la divulgation des paiements effectués par les entreprises aux gouvernements, pays par pays. Nous évaluons la résonance de cette action de plaidoyer dans les lettres de commentaires reçues par le normalisateur. Notre méthodologie originale combine une analyse lexicométrique, une analyse en composantes principales et la théorie des graphes. En acceptant que les alignements lexicaux signalent un assentiment partiel ou total des idées diffusées, nous visualisons, au sein des réseaux ou des sociogrammes, la manière dont les discours des répondants s'alignent sur les choix sémantiques de PWYP. Nos résultats mettent en évidence un plus grand nombre de non-alignements par rapport aux alignements, et évoquent un effort de lobbying n’ayant pas encore abouti à court terme.
