Regulating Multinationals in Developing Countries

Edwin Mujih explores the difficulties associated with regulating multinational companies operating in developing countries and highlights the need to establish an international legally binding framework to ensure that they operate in a socially responsible manner. Regulating Multinationals in Developing Countries features a study of the Chad and Cameroon oil and pipeline project that highlights the regulatory problems in countries that have neither the capacity or will to effectively regulate those operating within their borders. This is the first title in Gower's Corporate Social Responsibility Series to approach CSR from a legal perspective, it provides insight into problems with weak regulatory regimes and poses questions about the fundamental nature of multinational corporations and about different notions of CSR itself.
