Description

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development in Emerging Economies is an anthology of seven case studies plus two theoretical chapters in a comparative context. It analyzes issues related to the rise of multinational corporations, their immense economic and political influence in a globalized world, and their social responsibility/corporate citizenship. Corporate social responsibility is closely examined in terms of meeting the challenges of the widening gap between rich and poor, relationships with sovereign states, environmental degradation, exploitation of natural resources, labor practices, and human rights issues in societies in which multinational corporations operate. Are these corporations exempt from social roles and accountable to only their shareholders (the minimalist position propounded by economists such as Milton Friedman ), or do they also have ethical and social responsibilities to participate in improving the quality of human lives in impoverished societies in Africa , Asia and Latin America?

Media Reviews

This book is essential reading for understanding the importance, influence, and intervention of corporate social responsibility in the current and future world. Ethics, environment, economy, and the balance between food, water, and energy security are intrinsically linked to the way forward between CSR and sustainability in emergent countries. -- Eduardo Assad, Embrapa Agropecuaria Informática
This is a remarkable book on a very topical and contentious emerging debate. The intriguingly analytical and scholarly Introduction presents a comprehensive survey of the literature on advanced capitalist democracies as well as the emerging economies in the capitalist peripheries in the global South, with special focus on the phenomenon of corporate social responsibility. The substantive chapters that follow offer a good deal of empirical discussion and elaboration on important emerging economies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. I cannot recommend a better read on the emergent phenomenon of and debate on corporate social responsibility. -- Mahendra Prasad Singh, Institute of Social Sciences
