Transnational Corporations and Human Rights

Bringing together a diverse group of contributors, this collection addresses the impact of transnational corporations on human rights. Topics covered include corporate social responsibility, the impact of corporations on internal conflicts and codes of conduct. Case studies range from the negative effects of the Nigerian oil industry to the positive engagement by a logging company with the Nuu-chah-nulth people in Canada. The book combines the discussion of conceptual issues with an in-depth examination of specific corporations and industries.
