Corporate Social Responsibility of Multinational Corporations in Developing Countries（发展中国家跨国公司的社会责任）(2012).pdf

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF
MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
The increasing importance of corporate social responsibility
(CSR) means panies must consider multi-stakeholder
interests as well as the social, political, economic, environmental
and developmental impact of their actions. However, the pur-
suit of pro1ts by multinational corporations has led to a series of
questionable corporate actions, and the consequences of such
practices are particularly evident in developing countries.
Adefolake O. Adeyeye explores how CSR has evolved to aid
the anti-corruption campaign. By examining voluntary rules
applicable for curbing corruption, particularly bribery, and ana-
lysing the domestic and extraterritorial laws of Nigeria, the
United Kingdom and the United States for holding corporations
liable for bribery, she assesses the adequacy of international law’s
approach towards corporate liability for bribery and explores
direct corporate responsibility for international corruption. The
roles of corporate governance, global governance and civil liability
in curbing corporate corrupt practices are given special focus.
Adefolake O. Adeyeye is an adjunct lecturer at the Faculty of
Law, National University of Singapore (NUS), where she tea-
ches a module on corporate social responsibility, which she
designed and developed. Her research interests are in corporate
social responsibility, multinational corporations, corporate gov-
ernance, global governance, international law and sustainable
development.
