商品描述

This edited volume is the first collection to critically explore the role, limitations, and internal fragmentation of social activism for corporate accountability across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. It analyses a variety of NGOs, trade unions, and grassroots movements and their transnational mobilizations for holding accountable business actors involved in human rights violations and environmental degradation. The book emphasizes the diverse visions and strategies extolled by these civic actors: from civil and criminal litigations, efforts to prohibit and punish business misconduct through national and international legislation, to boycotts, and memorialization projects. By adopting an actor-focused perspective and examining their national and transnational activism, the collection provides an innovative perspective across three main themes: civil society and social movements as key drivers of corporate accountability efforts; the fragmentation of the global corporate accountability movement across ontological, ideological, regional, and professional lines; the Janus-faced paradigm of transnational activism for corporate accountability. The volume argues that corporate accountability coalitions are successful especially when social actors form alliances across borders and professional sectors. Such transnational and intersectoral engagements create counter-hegemonic discourses against corporate impunity, push for more inclusive justice projects, and multiply spaces and ideas of accountability. Yet, civil societies and social movements themselves are fragmenting over the meaning, scope, and tactics of corporate accountability due to different local, national and regional contexts, ideological variations regarding human rights and economic development, and diverse professional understandings of accountability processes. This is an open access book.

這本編輯過的書籍是首個批判性探討社會運動在企業問責中角色、限制及內部碎片化的合集，涵蓋非洲、美洲、亞洲和歐洲。它分析了各種非政府組織（NGOs）、工會和基層運動，以及它們在跨國動員中對涉及人權侵犯和環境退化的商業行為者進行問責的努力。該書強調這些公民行動者所推崇的多樣化願景和策略：從民事和刑事訴訟、通過國內和國際立法禁止和懲罰商業不當行為的努力，到抵制和紀念項目。通過採取以行動者為中心的視角，並檢視他們的國內和跨國運動，這本合集提供了三個主要主題的創新視角：公民社會和社會運動作為企業問責努力的關鍵推動力；全球企業問責運動在本體論、意識形態、區域和專業領域的碎片化；以及跨國企業問責運動的雙面性範式。該書主張，企業問責聯盟在社會行動者跨越國界和專業領域形成聯盟時特別成功。這種跨國和跨部門的參與創造了對抗企業不受懲罰的反霸權話語，推動更具包容性的正義項目，並擴大問責的空間和理念。然而，由於不同的地方、國家和區域背景、對人權和經濟發展的意識形態差異，以及對問責過程的多樣專業理解，公民社會和社會運動本身在企業問責的意義、範疇和策略上也出現了碎片化。這是一本開放存取的書籍。
