"The rapid growth of multinational corporations has given rise to many complex and controversial international law and governance issues. Driven to maximize shareholder value, these corporations are legally structured to seize every advantage while also benefiting from generous investor rights and a significant voice in national and international economic policy discussions. Corporate Citizen examines the modern multinational corporation from a diversity of perspectives, with contributions from legal experts evaluating economic, corporate, investment, environmental, Indigenous and human rights laws and their efficacy in protecting the public interest. It offers policy makers, diplomats, civil society advocates, legal professionals and scholars new insights into the challenges and opportunities of globalization, the need for governance reform and possible solutions to strengthen global justice.""-- Provided by publisher.
