Produktbeschreibung

This multi-disciplinary volume considers the moral, historical, legal, political and economic structures of global governance trends and institutions and their impact on the evolution of international legal standards. The impact of the global private sector on global governance, international legal standards and the emergence of corporate social responsibility regimes is also addressed in order to show how the institutions and realities of globalization that we are faced with today have been the result of convergence and conflict between fundamental values in these areas.
