Tony Blair's Governments And Corporate Social Responsibility (csr)

Authors : Guessar Souad .

Abstract

The paper deals with the role of government as a driver to the Corporate Social Responsibility. The paper examines with evidence recent British Labour governments (Blair governments) that push business organisations to adopt social responsibility through various policies including ministerial leadership; stimulating new and existing business associations; subsidising CSR activities and organisations; and the use of regulation. It clarifies the results with reference to a wider societal governance crisis which Labour governments decided to resolve with CSR beside variety of other measures. It concludes that CSR needs to be understood as part and parcel of a wider system of national societal governance incorporating government institutions، business organisations and non- governmental organisations.
