ABSTRACT

This chapter begins the second aspect of our analysis which addresses what potential law and a law-jobs approach may hold for the legitimacy of corporate power. To do this the chapter addresses the concept of legitimacy and its link with law, the meaning of law in this context, the relationship between law and regulation and finally law’s current manifestations within CSR. This chapter does this in order to point out approaches of law which this work analyses in detail for relevance to CSR’s exemplar.
