Abstract
This volume has addressed the complex and classic questions on the roles of states and markets by analysing how this long-standing debate is manifested in corporate citizenship. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including political science, organization and management, sociology, and accounting, the authors in this volume make use of the notion of corporate citizenship as a device for delineating and analysing the political role of the corporation in the public domain.
