Sommario/riassunto

In our troubled and turbulent 20th century, the creation of the State of Israel is undoubtedly a remarkable event. With that, a dream, an ideal, an almost bi-millennial aspiration came true. It was preceded, however, by a long and difficult period - we could call it preparatory - full of obstacles, disappointments and sacrifices.

Sommario/riassunto

This book analyses nearly 100 original interviews with Members of the European Parliament from across the European Union who were active between 1979 and 2019. These interviews, preserved in the Historical Archives of the European Union at the European University Institute, capture the memories of the MEPs about their own roles and their assessment of what the parliament achieved in developing a European parliamentary democracy in the forty years following the first direct elections. The book offers a taste of the interviews in ten chapters, each of which corresponds to a specific theme presented in the archive: choosing the parliament, working inside the parliament machine, living inside the political groups, playing a part in major moments, influencing and shaping policy, scrutinizing and holding to account, making a mark beyond the EU, communicating the work of the parliament, keeping in touch with national societies, and looking to the future. Alfredo De Feo isa professor at the European College of Parma and Fellow at the European University Institute, Firenze, Italy. He is former Director of the European Parliament and has published widely on EU affairs, including The New Politics of the European Union Budget (with S. Becker and M. Bauer, 2017). Michael Shackleton is Special Professor in European Institutions at the University of Maastricht, The Netherlands, and former Head of the EP Information Office in London, UK. He has published widely on EU affairs, including co-authoring eight editions of The European Parliament.

Corporate governance and corporate social responsibility - Introduction -- Corporate social responsibility around the world - Historical evolution, progress and role of corporate governance -- Corporate social responsibility and corporate Governance in India: Evolution, progress and current status of large companies -- Impact of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility in India - Empirical analysis -- Impact of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility: An empirical exploration using structural equation technique.

Sommario/riassunto

The book explores the theoretical and empirical issues relating to the interaction between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities undertaken by Indian companies. It presents a highly detailed view on the evolution of CSR and its nexus with corporate governance. This is particularly timely in the context of the recent Indian Companies Act 2013, which mandates corporate social responsibility and revises the best corporate-governance



practices for large companies. The findings of this study are unique in drawing from a unified framework of Indian corporate governance structure and corporate engagement in CSR. The book’s scope is both academic and practical; the research methodology developed and utilized is useful for researchers, while the implications and the selection of variables provide useful information for practitioners and stakeholders. Finally, although it focuses on large Indian companies, the findings can also be applied to research on other emerging economies.
