Abuse of Power

Social Performance of Multinational Corporations: The Case of Union Carbide

By David Dembo, Ward Morehouse and Lucinda Wykle

Blurbs

The enormous size and global reach of multinational corporations make it increasingly difficult for any one country to hold them accountable when they behave recklessly. This book demonstrates just how serious and urgent the problem has become by exposing Union Carbide's record of abuse of its workers and the environment. Abuse of Power examines the inadequacy of existing mechanisms and presents new ways of curbing corporate irresponsibility.

Here is a book for everyone concerned about our economic and environmental future, including occupational health and environmental professionals; community activists; corporate managers; government and trade union officials; and workers, students and teachers in economics, business, environment, and many other fields.

What People are Saying

This important book is a comprehensive overview of raw corporate deceit and power over exploited communities in the US and abroad.
