Recenzje

'This book, with its focus on how business actors may contribute to the global Responsibility to Protect Agenda (R2P), pioneers a whole new agenda for research and policy formulation. In the process, the authors challenge our standard conceptions of both business and R2P.' Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)
