Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in Asia

By: Robert J. Hanlon

As globalization has brought about new concerns and responsibilities for business, particularly in the realm of human rights, many multinational corporations (MNC) operating in Asia have argued that such rights are the responsibility of government. However, as globalization continues to improve market access for MNCs, it increasingly exposes them to new forms of transnational social movements, and as a result the private sector has emerged as one of the central stakeholders in the region’s human rights dialogue. Taking three of Asia’s fastest emerging economies – Cambodia, China and Thailand – as its starting point, Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights in Asia explores the business case for corporate social responsibility, human rights and anti-corruption in the region. In doing so, it examines how industry perceives human rights and corruption within the corporate social responsibility (CSR) paradigm, and builds on the argument that the CSR regime is a socially constructed concept. Drawing on interviews with key stakeholders including business leaders, nongovernmental organizations, international organizations and government officials, Robert Hanlon argues that industry perceives human rights as outside their sphere of influence; that divergent stakeholder interests are side-lining the human rights debate; and that human rights are increasingly ignored in the quest for profit-maximization. This leads to the conclusion that human rights and corruption will remain peripheral business issues until stakeholders find new ways of creating space for CSR engagement, and business actors will continue to marginalize the human rights issue so long as governments in the region let them. This interdisciplinary book draws on political science, business and sociological perspectives and as such, will be of great interest to students and scholars working across the fields of Asian business, corporate social responsibility and business ethics, human rights and international political economy.

Human Security and the Politics of Corporate Social Responsibility in China

By: Hanlon, Robert J.

Exploring themes associated with corruption, sustainable development, and human rights and security, Robert J. Hanlon considers the political dynamics of corporate social responsibility (CSR) within the context of the ‘Asian Century’ and its place in an increasingly multipolar world.

Existence of the Sectional Capacity

By: Robert Rumely,Chi Fong Lau,Robert Varley

In the case where the norms are induced by metrics on the fibres of ${\mathcal L}$, we establish the functoriality of the sectional capacity under base change, pullbacks by finite surjective morphisms, and products. We study the continuity of $S Gamma(\overline{\mathcal L})$ under variation of the metric and line bundle, and we apply this to show that the notion of $v$-adic sets in $X(\mathbb C v)$ of capacity $0$ is well-defined. Finally, we show that sectional capacities for arbitrary norms can be well-approximated using objects of finite type.

Structurally Stable Quadratic Vector Fields

By: Joan C. Artés,Robert E. Kooij,Jaume Llibre

This book solves a problem that has been open for over 20 years--the complete classification of structurally stable quadratic vector fields modulo limit cycles. The authors give all possible phase portraits for such structurally stable quadratic vector fields. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Solvent Effects in Chemistry

By: Erwin Buncel,Robert A. Stairs

This book introduces the concepts, theory and experimental knowledge concerning solvent effects on the rate and equilibrium of chemical reactions of all kinds. It begins with basic thermodynamics and kinetics, building on this foundation to demonstrate how a more detailed understanding of these effects may be used to aid in determination of reaction mechanisms, and to aid in planning syntheses. Consideration is given to theoretical calculations (quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, etc.), to statistical methods (chemometrics), and to modern day concerns such as "green" chemistry, where utilization and disposal of chemical waste or by-products in an environmentally safe way is as important as achieving the desired end products by all chemists nowadays. The treatment progresses from elementary to advanced material in straightforward fashion. The more advanced topics are not developed in an overly rigorous way so that upper-level undergraduates, graduates, and newcomers to the field can grasp the concepts easily.

Coherence for Tricategories

By: Robert Gordon,Anthony John Power,Ross Street

This work defines the concept of tricategory as the natural 3-dimensional generalization of bicategory. Trihomomorphism and triequivalence for tricategories are also defined so as to extend the concepts of homomorphism and biequivalence for bicategories.
