The seminar will consider the following core topics: the rights and responsibilities of corporations; contests over corporate personhood and legal personality; corporate governance; the emergence and efficacy of corporate social responsibility codes; the influence of increasing shareholder, consumer and stakeholder interest in corporate accountability and ethics; and, the role that transparency regulation, social reporting, and multi-stakeholder initiatives and voluntary codes of conduct play in shaping corporate strategy and balancing public interest priorities with profit motives.
