The increasing importance of CSR means that companies must consider
multi-stakeholder interests as well as the social, political,
economic, environmental and developmental impact of their actions.
However, the pursuit of profits by multinational corporations has
led to a series of questionable corporate actions and the
consequences of such practices are particularly evident in
developing countries. Adefolake Adeyeye explores how CSR has
evolved to aid the anti-corruption campaign. By examining voluntary
rules applicable for curbing corruption, particularly bribery and
analysing the domestic and extra-territorial laws of Nigeria,
United Kingdom and the United States for holding corporations
liable for bribery, she assesses the adequacy of international
law's approach towards corporate liability for bribery and explores
direct corporate responsibility for international corruption. The
roles of corporate governance, global governance and civil
liability in curbing corporate corrupt practices are given special
focus.
