Infos

This book explores the concepts of sustainability and governance in relation to the governance of corporations - hence the ubiquity of the term corporate governance - and other bodies. It examines how these concepts are regularly used by politicians and by the media. The two concepts are however largely treated as being separate and discrete, and given equal coverage. The argument in this book is that the two concepts are inter-related and that good governance is a prerequisite for sustainability. The focus of the book therefore is different from most, as it seeks to integrate these two important issues.

The approach used in this book is based on the tradition of the Social Responsibility Research Network - a worldwide body of scholars that, over its 20-year history, has sought to broaden the discourse and to treat all research as inter-related and business-relevant.

The book examines diverse aspects of the changes to corporate and institutional behaviour that have recently manifested by focusing on these two aspects of sustainable development. Thus, the authors explore engagement and partnership between organisations, in order to consider the extent to which the focus has changed so much that we need to think about new approaches to our understanding of sustainability and differing effects in practice. The international mix of authors makes this an original contribution, sharing some of the best ideas from around the world.

Professor David Crowther is President of the Social Responsibility Research Network and has organised all 25 of its international conferences. He is the Founding Editor of Social Responsibility Journal - the leading journal in this field. He has published 50 books and over 400 articles.

Shahla Seifi is based at the University of Derby, UK, and is Conferences Chair of the Social Responsibility Research Network. She has published several books and a number of articles.

Together they organised the 18th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility and 9th Corporate Governance Conference, held in Barcelos, Portugal. The papers included in the volume were selected from those presented at the conference.
