Justice by Tom Campbell( Book )

50 editions published between 1988 and 2010 in 3 languages and held by 1,123 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Political theorists agree that justice is a fundamental political value but disagree profoundly about its proper analysis and philosophical justification. This book sets out the main contending theories of justice as exemplified in the works of John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Bruce Ackerman, Richard Posner, and Wojciech Sadurski. Each approach is introduced in its own terms, assessed in accordance with its ability to generate a clear, consistent and illuminating account of justice as a distinctive social, political and legal value, and then assessed in a specific area of practice, such as welfare rights, the protection of minorities, the distribution of income and criminal law

The new corporate accountability : corporate social responsibility and the law by Doreen J McBarnet( Book )

16 editions published between 2007 and 2009 in English and held by 346 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The adoption by companies of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies is routinely characterised as voluntary. But if CSR is self-governance by business, it is self-governance that has received a firm push from external social and market forces, from forces of social accountability. Law is also playing a more significant role than the image of CSR suggests, and this legal accountability - the focus of the book - is set to increase. Legal intervention should not, however, be seen as making social accountability redundant. Wider ethical standards and social and market forces are also necessary to make legal regulation effective. Law is being brought into play in innovative and indirect ways. The initiative lies as much with private organizations as with the state. At the same time governments are using social and market forces to foster CSR. In the context of corporate social responsibility, a new, multi-faceted, corporate accountability is emerging

Sceptical essays on human rights( Book )

22 editions published between 2001 and 2010 in English and held by 335 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Over the past two decades human rights have come to play a central role in both international law and in the domestic constitutional arrangements of nation-states.

There are, however, considerable doubts about the desirability of these developments - this collection of essays explores these reservations and considers how they may be taken into account in the implementation and use which is now to be made of human rights law both in the UK and elsewhere
