Strategies to Foster Corporate Social Responsibility at the Age of Globalization

Abstract

The paper summarizes the results of the research carried out at the Perelman Centre for Legal Philosophy on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It analyses the dynamics of the CSR movement and the instruments and actors that put corporations under pressure to commit themselves in CSR programs and to implement them. It explains why CSR flourish in the current global environment and argues that CSR may be explained as a typical case of coregulation as a model of global law.
