Routledge Corporate Human Rights Violations Legal Action Book

Explore the complex legal and political landscape of corporate accountability with this academic work from Routledge. Part of the RIPE Series in Global Political Economy, this book examines the historical and legal contexts driving current demands from NGOs and the United Nations Human Rights Council. It investigates why these organizations seek to hold corporations responsible for human rights violations. By analyzing existing accountability mechanisms, the text argues that modern demands are a direct response to the failure of neo-liberal policies that have shaped politics and law since the 1970s. This book provides a fresh perspective on the struggles for human rights within the global political economy. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the intersection of law, politics, and corporate responsibility.
