Rezensionen

'This timely and important collection addresses many of the critical shortcomings in conventional approaches to CSR by emphasizing issues of power and the role of regulatory governance in promoting corporate responsibility, and restraining acts of corporate irresponsibility.' - Professor Peter Newell, School of International Development, University of East Anglia, UK

'Historically informed, theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded, this excellent volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of prominent authors to provide a piercing examination of the practices, potential and limitations of CSR.' Professor David L. Levy, Department of Management and Marketing, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA

'Ongoing and recent crises have raised profound questions about the effectiveness and virtues of corporate social responsibility and deregulation. However, concerns about the difficulties and costs of developing adequate, appropriate and effective regulation continue to command attention. This volume sheds much light on these complex issues.' - Jomo Kwame Sundaram, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development
