It was an early effort by the UN to address the overlapping issues of national sovereignty, corporate responsibility, and global governance. These issues have since multiplied and deepened with globalisation. This book recounts the UNCTC experience and its lessons for international organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is not only an insider perspective by two former staff members but also a collective memoir of the UNCTC as an international organisation that attempted, with varying success, to defuse the clash between corporates and states that erupted in the turbulent 1970s. This personal account of the UNCTC is a mixture of history, analysis, reflections, and critical commentaries, told in different voices that penetrate the bland persona of international civil service. In this retelling, the authors seek to address misconceptions amongst the more general literature and to provide accounts of both its positive and negative features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UNCTC experience recounted in this book holds valuable lessons for international organisations and will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608231297260,"sku":"9780415733007","price":365.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415733007-united-nations-centre-on-transnational-corporations.jpg?v=1778191565"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/khalil-hamdani.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
