| Abstract
|
:
|
This book addresses the changing role and responsibilities of large multinational corporations (MNCs) in the global political economy. It makes connections between current debates and streams of thought, bringing together global justice, human rights, and corporate responsibility. Conceiving of corporate social responsibility (CSR) from this unique perspective, the author takes readers well beyond the limitations of conventional notions, which tend to focus on either beneficence or pure charity.
