In the first decades of the twenty-first century, the theory and practice of corporate citizenship and responsibility adapted significantly. The pieces in this volume capture the essence of these changes, with illuminating reflections by their pre-eminent authors on success, failure and learning. Featuring contributions from John Ruggie, Peter Senge, R. Edward Freeman, Jan Aart Scholte and Georg Kell, Business, Capitalism and Corporate Citizenship charts the rise of corporate citizenship, sustainability and social responsibility. This reader and its accompaniment, Globalization and Corporate Citizenship: The Alternative Gaze, present key articles from the last 15 years of this dynamic area of research and practice. Many of these articles are enhanced by what we think is a unique innovation: we asked the original authors to review their articles and let us know where they might have got it right; where they might have got it wrong; and where the field is going now. Written by some of the most widely recognised pioneers of the corporate responsibility and global sustainability movement, the essays offer academics, business practitioners and students enlightening reading and a review of essential theory and practice: they are intended as seminal reading for researchers and practitioners alike. “The evidence in these readers shows that where we thought to nudge we now need to shove, and where we once thought the river was running in our direction we now know there are forces building dams to stop progress. We hope, in these readers, you will see how the ideas and practices of corporate citizenship have developed, and in the authors’ reflections you will see how they view this historical progression.” Malcolm McIntosh, Editor The Journal of Corporate Citizenship was launched in 2001 by Founding Editor Malcolm McIntosh and Greenleaf Publishing. Today, it continues to fulfil its mission to integrate theory and practice and provide a home for enlightened transdisciplinary thinking on the role of business and organisations in society.
