A consensus has emerged that corporations have societal and environmental responsibilities when operating transnationally. However, how exactly corporations can be held legally accountable for their transgressions, if at all, is less clear. This volume inquires how regulatory tools stemming from international law, public law, and private law may or may not be used for transnational corporate accountability purposes. Attention is devoted to applicable standards of liability, institutional and jurisdictional issues, and practical challenges, with a focus on ways to improve the existing legal status quo. In addition, there is consideration of the extent to which non-legal regulatory instruments may complement or provide more viable alternatives to these legal mechanisms. The book combines legaldoctrinal approaches with comparative, interdisciplinary, and policy insights with the dual aim of furthering the legal scholarly debate on these issues and enabling higher quality decision-making by policymakers seeking to implement regulatory measures that enhance corporate accountability in this context. Through its study of contemporary developments in legislation and case law, it provides a timely and important contribution to the scholarly and sociopolitical debate in the fastevolving field of international corporate social responsibility and accountability.

De bijdragen in dit boek zijn de uitgewerkte presentaties van het eerste Civilologiecongres dat plaatsvond op 24 juni 2011. Zij betreffen steeds het grensgebied tussen (een aspect van) het civiele recht en andere wetenschappelijke disciplines. Veelal refererend aan belemmeringen, zoals het verschil in perspectief tussen het recht en de sociaalwetenschappelijke disciplines en het gebrek aan uniforme doelstellingen binnen de (normatieve) wetenschap, laten de auteurs zien wat er op privaatrechtelijk terrein van andere disciplines geleerd of gebruikt kan worden, met welke vragen en problemen zij worstelen als zij interdisciplinair te werk gaan, en hoe zij die vragen en problemen hebben aangepakt.
