The Politics of Health explores how public health professionals, paramedics, doctors, nurses, health policy and community workers are taking health as an entry point into politics writ large, in particular in resistance to and shaping globalization.
Top of pageVol. 47.3. Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an issue that needs to be taken seriously. This issue of Development seeks to answer the following questions. Why has there been a surge of interest in development practice in fostering business ethics and responsibility? Why and how has business moved into the development arena? How have states and NGOs responded to the management practices of business and in the partnerships around CSR? How does the vision of CSR feed into notions of sustainable development and the longing for a fair and stable world order for justice and security? In short, how is CSR rewriting development?
Top of pageVol. 47.4. Surviving Uncertainty
This issue goes to the heart of what Development has been questioning these last few years. How do we survive a rapidly changing and complex world given the current crisis of ideas, the level of uncertainty in an era where so many have lost faith in the government, religion and ideology of right or left? Development probes these concerns in various ways - from the point of view of local communities, development policy, southern and northern political perspectives, cultural and gender concerns, ecological and institutional failures.
