Regulating Business for Peace: The United Nations, the Private Sector, and Post-Conflict Recovery

Autor Jolyon Ford
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 feb 2015
This book addresses gaps in thinking and practice on how the private sector can both help and hinder the process of building peace after armed conflict. It argues that weak governance in fragile and conflict-affected societies creates a need for international authorities to regulate the social impact of business activity in these places as a special interim duty. Policymaking should seek appropriate opportunities to engage with business while harnessing its positive contributions to sustainable peace. However, scholars have not offered frameworks for what is considered 'appropriate' engagement or properly theorised techniques for how best to influence responsible business conduct. United Nations peace operations are peak symbols of international regulatory responsibilities in conflict settings, and debate continues to grow around the private sector's role in development generally. This book is the first to study how peace operations have engaged with business to influence its peace-building impact.

Recenzii

'The role of the private sector - actual and potential - in countries emerging from violent conflict has been woefully under-examined by scholars and policy analysts. Regulating Business for Peace offers valuable insights into the risks and opportunities that business activity can bring to peacebuilding.' Richard Caplan, Oxford University, author of International Governance of War-Torn Territories
'This is a very thoughtful, well-researched and well-written assessment of the role of regulation and the United Nations in fostering businesses' contributions to peace. It builds on a burgeoning area of contemporary research while advance an important and unique contribution to the field. Dr Ford's book is worth a close reading.' Timothy L. Fort. JD, Eveleigh Professor of Business Ethics, Kelley School of Business, Indiana University
