‘This is a book which will have wide appeal, not just to business ethicists, but to politicians, members of non-governmental organisations, historians, economists, the general public and, of course, company directors. . . The case studies in this book are enormously informative and fascinating. . . On finishing this book I found that Cragg’s optimism had inflected my own pessimism. I also found the book so much more interesting than I expected it to be, to the extent that some of the papers were positively gripping.’
– Rachel Browne, Philosophy for Business
Globalization has altered in significant ways the tools available to regulate international commerce. One result is the emergence of ethics codes, codes of responsible conduct, and best practice codes designed to win adherence to internationally acceptable norms of conduct on the part of corporations and other organizations interacting in the global marketplace. This volume looks at these developments with particular focus on five topic areas: respect for human rights, treatment of labor, bribery and corruption, environmental protection, and international finance and the control of money laundering.
