Book Synopsis Business Regulation and Non-State Actors by : Ananya Mukherjee Reed
Download or read book Business Regulation and Non-State Actors written by Ananya Mukherjee Reed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assesses the achievements and limitations of a new set of non-state or multistakeholder institutions that are concerned with improving the social and environmental record of business, and holding corporations to account. It does so from a perspective that aims to address two limitations that often characterize this field of inquiry. First, fragmentation: articles or books typically focus on one or a handful of cases. Second, the development dimension: what does such regulation imply for developing countries and subaltern groups in terms of well-being, empowerment and sustainability? This volume examines more than 20 initiatives or institutions associated with different regulatory and development approaches, including the business-friendly corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda, ‘corporate accountability’ and ‘fair trade’ or social economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of voluntary corporate codes of conduct since the early 1990s is both a manifestation of and a response to the process of globalization.

This work provides a critical perspective on the growth and significance of corporate codes with a particular focus on working conditions and labour rights. It brings together work by academics, practitioners and activists.
