Rezensionen

"The UNDP's Engagement with the Private Sector begins with a great puzzle: why has the UNDP taken a U-turn in its attitude to engaging with business since the late 1990s? In answering it, the book suggests that changing norms on corporate social responsibility played a more significant role than state interests or functional concerns. Drawing on interviews and document analysis, Razeq has written a thoughtful and original contribution to our understanding of how international organizations work in a changing global context." - Jacqueline Best, University of Ottawa, Canada
