Transnational Corporations and International Law provides a
comprehensive overview of existing laws and principles aimed at
regulating the international behavior of transnational corporations
(TNCs). Alice de Jonge highlights the inadequacies and
possibilities inherent in the current regulatory network and also
outlines a theoretical framework for bringing TNCs more
comprehensively under the coverage of internationally-agreed
standards of behavior. The book then explores institutional avenues
for bringing TNCs to account when such standards are breached. The
author also provides a unique perspective on the role of TNCs in
the evolution of international environmental law. She concludes by
highlighting the need for what the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General on the issue of human rights and transnational
corporations and other business enterprises, has called 'principled
pragmatism' in developing both the theory and practice of
international law as applied to global corporations. This
well-documented work will appeal to corporate leaders interested in
understanding the related practicalities of international corporate
liability as well as post-graduate students in international
business and international policy studies. Policymakers, academics
and researchers interested in a unique perspective on the future of
the global corporation as an internationally responsible global
citizen will find much to interest them in this book. Contents: 1.
