Description: This paper examines contemporary aspects of business regulation associated with corporate social responsibility with a view to understanding its considerable influence in business, civil society, governmental and multilateral circles; as well as to assessing its potential to counter the perverse effects of economic liberalisation and corporate-led globalization, and reassert social control over markets.
