'Social and Environmental Disclosure by Chinese Firms is an essential resource for researchers interested not only in the global spread of disclosure practices, but also the increasing focus on social and environmental responsibility by Chinese firms. A highlight of the book is the authors mixed method approach to unpacking how and why stakeholders and firms' interest in appearing legitimate influence disclosure patterns in China. The book is methodologically rigorous and the authors have provided detailed appendices on the different rating methodologies, guidelines and measurement used in the study that will be valuable to many future researchers on the topic.' - Christopher Marquis, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School, U.S.A.
