Corporate Social Responsibility

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Covers recent and current developments in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and socially responsible investment (SRI) in a context of economic globalization. First classes set a foundation on the role of the multinational company in the global economy and international standards on human rights, labor rights, and the environment. Classes then move to topical studies of CSR/SRI initiatives and controversies. A consistent underlying theme of the course is the tension (and how to resolve it) between voluntary corporate self-regulation and mandatory government and intergovernmental regulation of corporate activity.
