Recenzje

While continuing to advocate for a binding international treaty to regulate business, Professor George argues that soft law is evolving into a de facto hard law, as companies and their stakeholders align on a common understanding of what "respect" for human rights means in global business strategy and operations. Company managers and business leaders need to understand these rising expectations for their human-rights performance, and Professor George's analysis is a great place to start! Professor George combines her deep law background, with new scholarly research on human-rights conventions and dozens of one-on-one interviews with company practitioners and rights activists. The result is a schematic "roadmap" to help managers and executives navigate an increasingly complex global human-rights landscape!
