In recognition of the importance of the subject matter, the United Nations Secretary General has appointed a special representative to work in this area. The book discusses the current trend by MNCs to self regulate by employing voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. Olufemi Amao argues that the CSR concept is insufficient to deal with externalities emanating from MNCs' operations, including human rights violations. Amao maintains that for CSR to be effective, the law must engage with the concept. In particular, he examines how the law can be employed to achieve this goal. While noting that the control of MNCs involves regulation at the international level, it is argued that more emphasis needs to be placed on possibilities at home, in States and host States where there are stronger bases for the control of corporations. This book will be useful to academic scholars, students, policy makers in developing countries, UN, UN Agencies, the African Union and its agencies, the European Union and its agencies and other international policy makers"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in corporate law. 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation$zDeveloping countries 606 $aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 676 $a346/.065091724 686 $aBUS010000$aBUS068000$aLAW000000$2bisacsh 700 $aAmao$b Olufemi.$01470172 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789988803321 996 $aCorporate social responsibility, human rights and the law$93681846 997 $aUNINA
