Social and Solidarity Economy
As economic crises, growing inequality and climate change prompt a global debate on the meaning and trajectory of development, increasing attention is focusing on 'social and solidarity economy' as a distinctive approach to sustainable and rights-based development. While we are beginning to understand what social and solidarity economy is, what it promises and how it differs from 'business as usual', we know far less about whether it can really m…
Introduction
Corporate Social Responsibility in a Globalizing World
Why do corporations increasingly engage in good deeds that do not immediately help their bottom line, and what are the consequences of these activities? This volume examines these questions by drawing on historical documents, interviews, qualitative case comparison, fieldwork, multiple regression, time-series analysis and multidimensional scaling, among others. Informed by neoinstitutionalism and political economy approaches, the authors examine …
Social and Solidarity Economy
The Global Crisis and Transformative Social Change
Global crises not only deeply impact the economy and people's livelihoods, they also unsettle basic ideas and assumptions about the meaning and drivers of development. This collection of theoretical a
Global Justice Activism and Policy Reform in Europe
In July 2005, an astounding 225,000 people, mostly clad in white, took to the streets of Edinburgh to form the largest demonstration Scotland has ever known. The demonstration demanded that the leaders of the G8 countries ‘Make Poverty History’ (MPH) by ‘dropping the debt’, ‘providing more and better aid’ and ensuring ‘trade justice’. The MPH demonstration and accompanying Live 8 concerts were so signifi cant that the Roman Catholic Primate, Arch…
Corporate social responsibility and regulatory governance
This is the first volume of two books on the changing nature of state-business relations. This volume explores CSR in a historical trajectory and development context; is theoretically informed and contributes to the body of critical thinking that calls for more comprehensive regulatory frameworks"--Provided by publisher
The Struggle for Corporate Accountability
The nature of activism concerned with the activities of transnational corporations has changed in recent years. In the 1990s, an increasing number of NGOs opted for collaboration as opposed to confrontation. By the turn of the millennium, there were signs that another approach was gaining ground, one that involved new campaigns for corporate accountability and legalistic regulation. This article examines the changing contours of contestation and …
CSR and Equality
Institutional reforms associated with neoliberalism and ‘good governance’ have altered the roles and responsibilities of states and transnational corporations (tncs) in relation to social development. Increasingly such firms are engaging more directly in social service provisioning through privatisation, claiming to be more responsive to the concerns of multiple ‘stakeholders’ through ‘corporate social responsibility’ (csr), positioning themselve…
Corporate responsibility and the movement of business
The corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda has taken off since the 1980s, with both civil society and business actors involved in mobilising around it. This paper examines the reasons for civil society mobilisation on CSR issues, the types of organisations involved, and their different forms of activism and relations with business. It then identifies the ways in which big business is engaging with and shaping the CSR agenda, but questions w…
Social and Political Dimensions of Environmental Protection in Central America
This study takes a critical look at mainstream efforts to protect and rehabilitate the environment in Central America. Despite some notable successes, many forest protection and tree planting schemes have not been effectively implemented and have even contributed to further environmental degradation, social inequality and impoverishment. It is argued that the trade-off between environmental protection and human welfare which characterizes many sc…

From orthodoxy to reform
The Peasant Question and Development Policy in Nicaragua
Government policy towards the peasantry has undergone significant changes during the past three years. This article identifies the principal changes involved and analyses why they occurred. The peasant question in Nicaragua, as in other socialist transitions, has involved dealing with four key issues associated with the growth of overall food production, the extraction of surplus, improving living levels of peasant families and forging the worker…
