Abstract
This volume presents CSR as a series of economic and political strategies that are currently shifting the focus of international human rights activism and signaling the rise of new forms of global governance. In as much as the work demonstrates the limitations of CSR and offers a critical perspective on corporate techniques of market domination, it also posits a future for CSR within the human rights movement. This volume's contributors engage directly with the conduct and objectives of corporations, moving beyond discussions of markets and economic policy to examine how particular corporate agents have shaped realities on the ground.
