After the Tiananmen Square massacre, a vigorous international
debate erupted, not only about human rights in China, but also
about the role of multinational firms. Should corporations do
business in China at all? Should corporations take a stand on such
issues? Revelations about serious and pervasive human rights
violations in Chinese factories raised even more questions about
the clash of profits and principles in China.
Michael Santoro investigates these and other dilemmas, exploring
the democratic values firms impart to their employees and the
values firms often compromise in pursuit of profits. His interviews
with foreign business executives, Chinese employees of foreign
firms, human rights advocates, and foreign consular officials
provide a range of perspectives. His examination of business
responsibility for human rights in China also serves as a unique
framework for assessing the broader social trends -- both positive
and negative -- arising from globalization.
Santoro discusses the implications of business activities for
U.S. foreign policy and provides practical management advice for
business executives operating in China and for those considering
doing so. Surprisingly, he finds that President Clinton's program
of "comprehensive engagement", which has drawn severe criticism,
may in fact create a positive human rights "spin-off". Santoro's
"fair-share" theory is a unique and thoughtful effort to draw the
line between what moral principles do and do not require of
businesses operating in China.
