Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in Asia by : Robert J. Hanlon
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in Asia written by Robert J. Hanlon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As globalization has brought about new concerns and responsibilities for business, particularly in the realm of human rights, many multinational corporations (MNC) operating in Asia have argued that such rights are the responsibility of government. However, as globalization continues to improve market access for MNCs, it increasingly exposes them to new forms of transnational social movements, and as a result the private sector has emerged as one of the central stakeholders in the region’s human rights dialogue. Taking three of Asia’s fastest emerging economies – Cambodia, China and Thailand – as its starting point, Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in Asia explores the business case for corporate social responsibility, human rights and anti-corruption in the region. In doing so, it examines how industry perceives human rights and corruption within the corporate social responsibility (CSR) paradigm, and builds on the argument that the CSR regime is a socially constructed concept. Drawing on interviews with key stakeholders including business leaders, nongovernmental organizations, international organizations and government officials, Robert Hanlon argues that industry perceives human rights as outside their sphere of influence; that divergent stakeholder interests are side-lining the human rights debate; and that human rights are increasingly ignored in the quest for profit-maximization. This leads to the conclusion that human rights and corruption will remain peripheral business issues until stakeholders find new ways of creating space for CSR engagement, and business actors will continue to marginalize the human rights issue so long as governments in the region let them. This interdisciplinary book draws on political science, business and sociological perspectives and as such, will be of great interest to students and scholars working across the fields of Asian business, corporate social responsibility and business ethics, human rights and international political economy.

Book Synopsis NGOs and Corporations by : Michael Yaziji
Download or read book NGOs and Corporations written by Michael Yaziji and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a period marked by the ascendency of corporations. At the same time, the number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – such as Amnesty International, CARE, Greenpeace, Oxfam, Save the Children, and the WWF – has rapidly increased in the last twenty years. As a result, these two very different types of organization are playing an increasingly important role in shaping our society, yet they often have very different agendas. This book focuses on the dynamic interactions, both conflictual and collaborative, that exist between corporations and NGOs. It includes rigorous models, frameworks, and case studies to document the various ways that NGOs target corporations through boycotts, proxy campaigns, and other advocacy initiatives. It also explains the emerging pattern of cross-sectoral alliances and partnerships between corporations and NGOs. This book can help managers, activists, scholars, and students to better understand the nature, scope, and evolution of these complex interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Issue makes an important contribution to the literature on corporate-NGO relations and I commend the presenters, authors and editors on their effort and execution I encourage you to read and reflect on [these] excellent papers." - Jonathan Doh, Director of the Center for Global Leadership In 2012, Copenhagen Business School hosted the conference Partnership 2012: NGO+Business. During the three-day event, a wide range of business leaders, NGO representatives, politicians, academics and students discussed how partnerships can help to alleviate some of the urgent social and environmental challenges facing the world today. Overall, the various contributions to the conference indicated that business-NGO partnerships hold great promise for solving societal problems, but it was also acknowledged that the planning and implementation of these collaborative efforts could be a challenging endeavour. Topics discussed at the conference included partnership drivers, partner identification, implementation processes, governance mechanisms, barriers and success factors, and impact measurements, among others. The purpose of this Special Issue of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship is to document and share the experiences from the 2012 conference by publishing some of the interesting research papers that were presented at the event. The Special Issue begins with an introductory article from the conference organisers, Esben Rahbek Gjerdrum Pedersen and Janni Thusgaard Pedersen, that synthesises the state of play in both research and practice related to corporate-NGO partnerships. It also positions the research that is contained in the issue within the broader academic discourse over the subject. The Special Issue on business-NGO partnerships includes contributions that help both academics and practitioners to better understand how business-NGO partnerships are preached and practised. The contributions look, in particular, at how a number of internal and external factors shape the process and outcomes of business-NGO partnerships.

Book Synopsis Forced Displacement and NGOs in Asia and the Pacific by : Gül İnanç
Download or read book Forced Displacement and NGOs in Asia and the Pacific written by Gül İnanç and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a comprehensive survey of the dynamics of conflict and climate induced forced displacement and organisational response across Asia and the Pacific. The Asia Pacific region hosts some of the largest numbers of displaced people on the planet, with some of the fewest protections available and sparse frameworks for advancing rights, livelihood, and policy. The region maintains the lowest number of signatory states to international refugee protection covenants, and the majority of national protection and support systems are ad hoc, precarious, and unpredictable. Civil society has very often filled in the gaps but, with the rise of nationalist rhetoric, civil society space has been shrinking. Drawing upon the expertise of academics, practitioners, historians, theorists, policy makers, political scientists, economists, and the voices of affected communities across the region, this book examines both key case studies and larger regional trends. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners looking to understand the complexities of responses to refugees and forced migrants in the Asia Pacific Region.
Book Synopsis Evaluation and Development by : Osvaldo N. Feinstein
Download or read book Evaluation and Development written by Osvaldo N. Feinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnership is of growing importance in development work. Partnerships among state, private business, and civil society organizations are increasingly used to deliver the goods and services required for balanced growth and poverty reduction. Aid activities have shifted from a project focus to a more strategic and holistic focus on programs, sectors, and policies. With this new orientation, partnerships are often essential to deal with the added complexity and the larger number of agencies, groups, and stakeholders involved.The Partnership Dimension takes on the issues in a series of chapters divided into two general parts: Part 1, "Foundations of Partnership and Their Evaluation," covers the types of development partnership and critical issues involved, and Part 2, "Partnerships in Practice," then illustrates the aspects and lessons of partnership experience through a series of case studies. Many of the studies focus on the benefits of partnerships between institutions of government and civil society. Benefits include effective knowledge transfer, greater cross-national cooperation, the creation of new networks and capacity, and penetration of new markets. Private firms use partnerships with competitors to learn or reduce risk.There is much to learn about when, where, and how best to use partnerships, and, in particular, partnerships that involve less traditional combinations of actors, such as global partnerships for public policy, country-focused aid partnerships, private sector partnerships for knowledge creation, and partnerships for community development involving business, nongovernmental organizations, and government.Relatively little is known about the costs and benefits, and the risks and rewards, of different types of partnerships, or about how best to conduct partnerships for different purposes. This is why the current volume in the World Bank series is relevant for both development practitioners and policy analysts.

Book Synopsis Business and Human Rights in Southeast Asia by : Mahdev Mohan
Download or read book Business and Human Rights in Southeast Asia written by Mahdev Mohan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business and human rights has emerged as a distinct field within the corporate governance movement. The endorsement by the United Nations Human Rights Council of a new set of Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights in 2011 reinforces the State’s duty to protect against human rights abuses by third parties, including business; the corporate responsibility to respect human rights; and greater access by victims to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial. This book draws on the UN Guiding Principles and recent national plans of action, to provide an overview of relevant developments within the ASEAN region. Bridging theory and practice, the editors have positioned this book at the intersection of human rights risk and its regulation. Chapter authors discuss the implications of key case-studies undertaken across the region and various sectors, with a particular focus on extractive industries, the environment, and infrastructure projects. Topics covered include: due diligence and the role of audits; businesses’ responsibilities to women and children; and the mitigation of human rights risks in the region's emerging markets. The book sheds light on how stakeholders currently approach business and human rights, and explores how the role of ASEAN States, and that of the institution itself, may be strengthened. In doing so, the book identifies critical challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the region in relation to business and human rights. This book will be of excellent use and interest to scholars, practitioners and students of human rights, business and company law, international law, and corporate governance.
