By Nina Boeger, Rachel Murray & Charlotte Villiers.

This book examines the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of globalisation and focuses on different legal perspectives in tackling the challenges that arise. The varied definitions of CSR present particular problems as does the related dilemma of opting for a self-regulatory approach or a greater level of external regulatory control. The roles of the state and the market and how they interrelate are considered against a background of increased intervention by international institutions. The potential contribution of individual citizens and non-governmental organisations towards achieving a socially and environmentally responsible business behaviour is also given attention. These issues are of special concern in an era that calls for different political and regulatory activities than have been exploited traditionally.
