They have been part of a more general shift away from state regulation of transnational corporations towards corporate self-regulation in the areas of labour and environmental standards and human rights. This work provides a critical perspective on the growth and significance of corporate codes with a particular focus on working conditions and labour rights. It brings together work by academics, practitioners and activists. 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aIndustries$xSelf-regulation 606 $aIndustrial relations 606 $aEmployee rights 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 0$aIndustries$xSelf-regulation. 615 0$aIndustrial relations. 615 0$aEmployee rights. 676 $a331.25/98 700 $aJenkins$b Rhys Owen$f1948-$4edt$0112760 702 $aPearson$b Ruth$f1945-$4edt 702 $aSeyfang$b Gill$f1969-$4edt 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783533303321 996 $aCorporate Responsibility and Labour Rights$93691642 997 $aUNINA
