Legal Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility
This book offers readers a comprehensive and in-depth legal analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by examining the theoretical foundations of corporate governance and its legal mechanism in the United States and South Korea. Moreover, it proposes legislative blueprint for establishing the legal frameworks that might serve to legitimize and effectively implement CSR in general. Reflecting the zeitgeist of improved corporate accountability and transparency, the ongoing movement to enhance CSR has permeated entire sectors of society the world over. Despite the apparent ubiquity of CSR, the corporate laws of many countries remain relatively silent on the issue, omitting to include an...
Hunting the Midnight Shark
The bullet tore through 900 meters before the ejected shell casing even hit the ground. Splitting thick blond hairs with enormous energy, it introduced itself to Sven Olagssen and valiantly rushed out the other side of his head, exploding into thousands of unidentifiable little pieces – just as designed. Agent Stone calmly pulled his head back from his sniper scope. His senses were on full alert, now. Red-billed Blue Magpies were chirping to each other and showing off their bright colors, nearby an occasional Bulbul would interrupt them with an anxious tweedle and Osmanthus flowers filled the air with their intoxicatingly sweet scent. For some, death was a disturbing and haunting reality. ...
Shareholder Primacy and Global Business
In the context of growing public interest in sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has not brought about the expected improvement in terms of sustainable business. Self-regulation has been unable to provide appropriate answers for unsustainable business frameworks, despite empirical proof that sustainable behaviour is entirely in corporate enlightened self-interest. The lack of success of the soft law approach suggests that hard law regulation may be needed after all. This book discusses these options, alongside the issue of shareholder primacy and its externalities in corporate, social, and natural environment. To escape the "prisoner’s dilemma" European corporations and t...
Scaling Up Disruptive Agricultural Technologies in Africa
This study—which includes a pilot intervention in Kenya—aims to further the state of knowledge about the emerging trend of disruptive agricultural technologies (DATs) in Africa, with a focus on supply-side dynamics. The first part of the study is a stocktaking analysis to assess the number, scope, trend, and characteristics of scalable disruptive technology innovators in agriculture in Africa. From a database of 434 existing DAT operations, the analysis identified 194 as scalable. The second part of the study is a comparative case study of Africa’s two most successful DAT ecosystems in Kenya and Nigeria, which together account for half of Sub-Saharan Africa’s active DATs. The objecti...
Legal Reform in the Contemporary Socialist World
Legal Reform in the Contemporary Socialist World explores four decades of legal reform in the socialist countries of China, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, and Cuba from a comparative perspective. Spanning the late 1970s to the present, it examines various projects, methods, strategies, contents, driving forces, and limitations of legislative reform, administrative reform, judicial reform, and reform of the legal profession. Legal reform in these countries is the project of the political elite to improve the legal system while retaining its core socialist principles. It is carried out through legislative enactments, amendments, and replacements, which the political elite adopt using incremental ...

The One Good Thing
For as long as Halley Steen has known her husband Nathan, he has carried a handful of stones in his pocket. Each day he uses those stones to remind him to follow the Golden Rule, moving a stone from one pocket to the other with each act of kindness. So it's not unusual that Nathan stops to help a stranger on the side of the highway while on his way to his son's football game one Friday evening. But that one act will change all of their lives forever, when a car hydroplanes off the road, killing Nathan instantly. As Halley and her children Ty and Alice struggle with their grief, Nathan's spiritual legacy lives on. A Facebook page appears, where countless stories about Nathan's selfless acts a...
China and Intervention at the UN Security Council

It draws upon new data, and concludes with new perspectives on the malleability of China's core interests, insights about the application of status for cooperation, and the implications of the status dilemma for rising powers.
De Koreaanse golf
Zuid-Korea lijkt te zijn wat het ons laat zien: een economische grootmacht die met technologie en popcultuur de wereld domineert, en een maatschappij waarin groepsgedrag, conformeren en gehoorzaamheid de dienst uitmaken. Maar daaronder floreren culturen van opstandigheid en individualiteit ten koste van alles en een diepgewortelde weerzin tegen autoriteit. De Zuid-Koreaanse maatschappij gedijt in de spanning tussen extreme tegenpolen, net zoals de staat zelf gedijt in haar moeizame relatie met het noorden. Het is een samenleving die zichzelf van militaire dictatuur met koloniaal verleden tot democratie met toekomstvisie wist om te vormen. De straten zijn er veilig, maar de gangster is de bel...
