But such corporations have to date been largely overlooked in the field of business and human rights. Treatment of such corporations has typically been in the context of supply chain studies, as subsidiaries of corporations from economically developed Western states. This book takes a radically different approach. It aims to investigate the conditions under which the European Union and its Member States regulate and remedy human rights violations by corporations from emerging and developing states. Stemming from the hypothesis that the EU intends to play a central role, Aleydis Nissen explores how the EU and its Member States attempt to ensure that EU-based businesses are not undercut by emerging competition, drawing on global examples to illustrate this developing phenomenon Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 03, 2022) Subject International business enterprises -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries Social responsibility of business -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries International business enterprises -- Law and legislation Social responsibility of business -- Law and legislation European Union countries Form Electronic book ISBN 9781009284295 1009284290
