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 Informatica 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
