Workshop on Managing Political CSR held at CBS May 23-24

The Governing Sustainability research cluster, under the CBS Sustainability Platform, organized a paper development workshop on May 23-24. The workshop was held at CBS and focused on issues related to "Managing Political CSR". This work has highlighted how firms are increasingly involved in the provision of public goods and shape global business regulation in various ways. The political understanding of CSR reaches beyond an instrumental view of corporate politics by highlighting how businesses not only influence politics via lobbying, but can become political actors themselves. 20 scholars from Europe, the US and Canada attended the two-day event and discussed papers related to issues such as: governance through multi-stakeholder initiatives, forms of global business regulation in different sectors and regions, and the role of democratic legitimacy and corporate involvement in the state sphere. The workshop was organized to help authors prepare their manuscript for submission to a Special Issue of the Journal of Management Studies.
