This article contributes to this under-researched area by examining the extent to which EU soft law influences policy adoption at the national level.

Our quantitative analysis of 95 national codes issued over 1992–2010 suggests that the Action Plan did influence national policy-making, but that the degree of national policy alignment depends on when the corporate governance code was issued, where, and by whom.
