Voluntary Approaches to Corporate Responsibility: Readings and a Resource Guide

The first section, "Corporate Codes of Conduct: Self-Regulation in a Global Economy,"...details the changes that have taken place in corporate regulation, explores what is behind the growing numbers of corporate codes of conduct, and describes the different stakeholders involved. In the second section, "Regulating Business via Multistakeholder Initiatives: A Preliminary Assessment," Peter Utting outlines the move from state-led command and control regulation in the 1960s and 1970s, to corporate self-regulation in the 1980s and 1990s, to a more recent trend towards co-regulation. The third section provides sources of further information, including a bibliography and a number of related websites.
