‘The chapters in this Handbook present a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of the wide-ranging initiatives of non-state actors to improve the human rights performance of global firms. An impressive and informative collaborative effort by two dozen distinguished scholars that tells us both what we now know and what we still need to learn about this important subject.’
