Editors: Dima Jamali, Charlotte Karam and Michael Blowfield

VOLUME 2: Development-Oriented Corporate Social Responsibility: Locally-led Initiatives in Developing Economies 

Eds: Dima Jamali, Charlotte Karam and Michael Blowfield

What's Inside:

Globalization and the professionalization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have led to a surge of CSR activities claiming to support development across the globe. In this two volume series, the editors explore this claim through nuanced debate about the potentialities, limitations and threats of development-oriented CSR in the developing world at both the global and local levels. This important series will be the reference source for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and NGOs involved in development-oriented CSR.

• The first series to examine international CSR approaches and context-specific needs in developing countries.
• Two volume series exploring the global context and local perspective
• Essential reading for academia, business, government and NGOs involved in CSR in developing countries.

The first volume explores the dynamics involved in shaping the complex interface between multinational corporations and possibilities for CSR-related development.  It captures the mixed record of MNCs in promoting effective development in those parts of the world where it is most needed.

 The second volume provides a platform for localized perspectives on CSR in developing countries across the globe. The editors bring local context and business to the forefront and highlight the efforts spearheaded by indigenous actors from within the developing world.
