"Highlights the broad range of activities that fall within CSR and usefully documents the impact of CSR on the broader human rights movement and its incursions into areas such as criminal and humanitarian law that are underexplored."

Business Ethics Quarterly

"This interdisciplinary collection contains an interesting array of different outlooks."

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

“The editors do a great job in assembling interdisciplinary expertise to give a nuanced examination of the development of codes of conduct for corporate social responsibility; this is a volume that could not be timelier considering the growing role of corporations at the heart of governance innovations both at home and abroad.”

David Chandler, author of Resilience: The Governance of Complexity

“This edited collection presents a much-needed interdisciplinary perspective on the accomplishments and weaknesses of corporate social responsibility, offering sound theoretical contributions and in-depth case studies. The CSR trend in business is so well established that it is time for trenchant, informed criticism such as is found here.”

Cynthia Williams, coeditor of The Embedded Firm

"Corporate Social Responsibility? focuses on the corporation’s growing role in global governance, and specifically on how its mandates for economic growth do and should interface with progressive human rights agendas.This volume intervenes in a broad literature that more often frames neoliberalism 'as a contest between marketeconomies and nonmarket values' (p. 8). . . . These essays instead complicate understandings of ‘corporate responsibility’ and ‘corporate citizenship’ to dismantle the presumed market/society duality. Rather than consider neoliberalism as abstract economic policy, the authors take a valuable on-the-ground approach that includes case studies of the apparel, mining, oil, and tobacco industries and their operations in diverse locales."
