THE POLITICAL ROLE OF CORPORATE CITIZENS SVEDBERG HELGESSON K. MORTH U. Księgarnia

The Political Role of Corporate Citizens

In a society where the role of corporations and the state is in flux, this interdisciplinary volume explores the political role of the corporation. Drawing on cases from the global south and north the authors use the notion of a citizenship for corporations as a device for delineating and analysing the on-going publicization and politicization of corporations. What is the role of the corporate citizen in the public domain? How does that new role transgress traditional notions of what corporations are and ought to be? And what are the implications of these developments for the welfare state and democracy at large?

This book will appeal to a wide range of scholars in political science, organization and management, business and society, and political economy. Its international contributors include Paula Blomqvist, Celine Cholez, Andrew Crane, Steven Gerencser, Boris Holzer, Uwafiokun Idemudia, Dirk Matten, Jeremy Moon, Fabrizio Panozzo and Pascale Trompette. "The profound re-ordering of the world involves among other things a shifting and transforming role of corporations. Corporations are expected to act as citizens and indeed as governments of global society and thus claim and assume substantial political power and responsibility. This volume provides us with a rich theoretical understanding and intriguing empirical studies of the political role of corporations around the world. The Political Role of Corporate Citizens is essential reading to scholars interested in how corporations add to the transformation of the world and in the complex and classic issues of relations between state and market." - Kerstin Sahlin, Professor in Business Administration, Public Management, at Uppsala University, Sweden.
