Critical Acclaim
‘A timely and interdisciplinary analysis of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) international landscape, with significant attention directed towards global value chains and emerging economies. It serves as a pivotal reference for international research on sustainable global business, offering practical insights for corporations, policymakers, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), encompassing a comprehensive perspective on diverse economies.’
– Gaia Melloni, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
‘Achieving sustainability requires a blending of public and private governance, and this volume is at the cutting edge of our understanding of what this means for businesses and society at large. It presents a great collection of papers that examine the efforts by MNEs to do good, the variety of ways in which they succeed and fail, and the reasons why well-intentioned initiatives do not always yield a sustainable outcome.’
