Session Type: Oral
Corporate Social Responsibility is a dynamic movement spearheading a transformation project challenging traditional and outmoded forms of corporate governance that frequently pose troublesome ethical issues. Since the mid 1990s, this movement has developed into a strong and rich institutional domain through at least 4 main sources: academic research; civil society movements; non-governmental standardization organizations and business corporations assisted by a large constellation of accreditation, auditing and control consulting firms. Many people and organizations are now involved in a vast loosely integrated network of human and corporate actors that elaborate, promote defend and implement the different versions of the CSR regulatory model in a framework of power relations.
For this session of the ISA Research Committee 02 on Economy and Society, we welcome submissions that engage topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- CSR as an institutional standpoint on the relations between Economy and Society
- Current core issues and debates on the impact of CSR on corporate governance
- Where are the nation-states in the regulation practices of private (and public) organizations to follow the UN Guiding Principles: ‘Protect, Respect and Remedy’?
- Sustainable business strategies regarding Human Rights, climate change and development
- Implementation of CSR and organizational change, particularly in Brazil and other countries of South America.
