This book, edited by Peter Utting from UNRISD and José Carlos Marques, “assesses the global rise of private regulation and CSR from the perspective of social and sustainable development. By adopting a multidisciplinary lens, it examines why the experience of CSR pales in comparison with the promise, what needs to be done to address ‘the intellectual crisis’ of CSR, and forms of corporate accountability and regulation more conducive to inclusive patterns of development.“
