  • Michael Blowfield

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is being promoted as an approach to international development, but is also being criticized by development organizations. Michael Blowfield examines the evidence of CSR's supporters and critics, and argues that embedded within CSR is a particular interpretation of social justice that raises specific questions about how far we want business to shape the direction of international development. Development (2004) 47, 61–68. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100068
