Development-Oriented Corporate Social Responsibility: Locally Led Initiatives in Developing Economies

This volume provides a platform for localized perspectives on CSR in developing countries across the globe. The editors bring local context and business to the forefront and highlight the efforts spearheaded by indigenous actors from within the developing world. The chapters present insights from developing countries through successful and less successful examples of locally-led CSR efforts. Together, these perspectives capture the complex paradoxes of CSR in developing countries and highlight common features in national institutions across the developing world, such as weak political and regulatory institutions, that shape local CSR initiatives and often limit its developmental impact.
