The Nile on eBay   Seeking Justice by Tricia D. Olsen

Corporate wrongdoing is ubiquitous today. Yet, we know little about when victims have access to remedy. Seeking Justice explores variation in victims' access to remedy mechanisms for corporate human rights abuse in Latin America using the newly created Corporations and Human Rights Database.

FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Seeking Justice: Access to Remedy for Corporate Human Rights Abuse explores victims' varying experiences in seeking remedy mechanisms for corporate human rights abuse. It puts forward a novel theory about the possibility of productive contestation and explores governance outcomes for victims of corporate human rights abuse across Latin America. This foundation informs three pathways that victims can use to press for their rights: working within the institutional environment, capitalizing on corporate characteristics, and elevating voices. Seeking Justice challenges the common assumptions in the governance gap literature and argues, instead, that greater democratic practices can emerge from productive contestation. This book brings to bear tough questions about the trade-offs associated with economic growth and conflicting values around human dignity-questions that are very salient today, as citizens around the globe contemplate the type of democratic and economic systems that might better prepare us for tomorrow.
