The Business of Sustainable Development in Africa

The Constitution in the Classroom: Education and the Law in South Africa, 1994 – 2008 (2009) – Winner of the 2010 Hindiggh-Currie Award for Best Book, this collection, underwritten by the United Nations Development Programme, illustrates how the UN Global Compact and the UN Millennium Goals, can be partially met by (a) novel multi-stakeholder, for-profit business models and (b) voluntary adherence to codes that promote human rights. The critical essays and the case studies provide some evidence that these polycentric arrangements and public commitments can change the way firms operate and extend the range of public goods that they provide.
