This book examines the impact of multinational enterprises (MNEs)
on local economies, and presents selected case studies of MNEs
operating in low income countries. By balancing external social and
environmental costs against its corresponding benefits, the book
demonstrates that MNEs can have a positive net-impact on local
development if they build up social capital by embedding themselves
in local economies and engaging responsibly with local
stakeholders. By doing so MNEs contribute to inclusive growth, a
central pillar of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In this
context, the book challenges popular narratives in civil society
and academia that frame foreign direct investment (FDI) merely as a
threat to human rights and sustainable development. Moreover, it
offers practical guidance for globally operating businesses seeking
to establish progressive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
strategies of their own.
