Forget political corporate social responsibility
认为政治企业社会责任(PCSR)看似解决政府未处理的社会问题,实则反映新自由主义企业权力的胜利并预示民主的衰落,建议学者在批判企业统治时放弃PCSR概念。
We argue that political corporate social responsibility (PCSR), while hailed by many as a solution to societal problems not dealt with by government, reflects both a triumph of neoliberal corporate power and a harbinger of democracy’s demise. Drawing on the remarkably PCSR-like – declarations of BlackRock CEO and billionaire Larry Fink, we demonstrate how scholarly PCSR is suspiciously compatible with corporate deregulation and privatisation of the public sphere. Our article recommends scholars abandon PCSR when critically evaluating corporate domination and democratic alternatives to it in the neoliberal era.
