Corporate Social Responsibility in the 21st Century Debates, Models and Practices Across Government, Law and Business

'CSR continues to be one of the most important aspects of business in the global economy - receiving much attention from business managers, government leaders and academics. While continuing to increase in prominence, there are many aspects and many approaches evolving in this global phenomenon. In this book Horrigan provides the most complete interdisciplinary analysis of these perspectives yet undertaken - combining theoretical insights with practical examples while pointing the way forward towards future developments.' - David Crowther, De Montfort University, UK and Social Responsibility Research Network 'In this book Professor Horrigan brings together the many facets of, and perspectives on, the concept [of CSR]... and he places them in the context of the development of thought in the crossover from the 20th to the 21st century... I doubt whether such an ambitious and comprehensive account of the concept has been previously attempted. There is no doubt that it is a hugely important subject in today's world; and one which will not go away. I believe that the book will be valuable to all who need to deal with this issue, whether as government officials, regulators, businessmen, lawyers, academics, media commentators or concerned citizens.' - The Right Honourable Lord Butler of Brockwell KG, GCB, CVO, was Secretary of the United Kingdom Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service from 1988 to 1998. 1998-2008 Master of University College Oxford and a Non-Executive Director of ICI plc and of HSBC Holdings, also Chairman of the Board's Corporate Social Responsibility Committee
