Research Handbook on Corporate Legal Responsibility

Edited by Stephen Tully, formerly Law Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

'What I liked in particular about the Handbook was that each chapter identified the issues within a theoretical context and then gave the historical perspective with an accurate account of the current legal position and set down clear markers on the issues likely to influence future developments in corporate responsibility.'
