Description:
Presenting an analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India, this book looks at the unique roots of the concept in India. It examines Gandhi's philosophical moorings that inform India's approach to CSR, and the role of civil society in setting an agenda for championing the rights of the stakeholders. The book goes on to focus on the role of the government in grooming the Indian business to be sensitive of its social concerns.
Review Quotes:
"Does the SR emigration matter? From the standpoint of socialist history, the answer has to be: yes. Narodnichestvo was eclipsed in 1917, but nonetheless it remains part of the common heritage of European socialism. Elizabeth White's book is therefore welcome for the light it sheds on this largely neglected phase in its history. After all, socialist history is at least partly the history of imagined alternatives to what actually happened in the past." - Francis King, University of East Anglia; Socialist History 38
