| Summary |
"This book examines the problem of social and environmental regulation, and the protection of human rights under the conditions of globalization. With detailed case studies on the clothing industry, forestry and corporate responsibility, the author analyzes both the issues and problems that have given rise to various movements and campaigns, and the challenges these movements now face. He critically evaluates the effectiveness of such non-governmental organizations and examines the theoretical implications of these new forms of social regulation for politics, citizenship and the state. The author concludes that only through the creation of substantive democratic polities can global social problems be addressed." -- Half t.p |
