Recenzje

'This book offers an accessible but rigorous and critical treatment of key debates, controversies, milestones and remaining challenges in the business and human rights field. Professor Wettstein successfully bridges the divide between legal and non-legal perspectives and provides readers an insightful overview of the past, present and future of the business and human rights journey. This book will be an invaluable resource for established as well as emerging scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the interface between business and human rights.'
