ESRC Seminar Series
“The Corporation at/in War”
The Critical Corporation Project presents an interdisciplinary panel to
debate the question of the corporation in, and at, war. There is increasing
talk of corporate complicity in war crimes, wars being fought for Big Oil,
private mercenary companies fighting states’ wars by proxy, and
companies profiting of conflict more generally. Beyond the newspaper
headlines, what are the facts and figures? How are we to think about these
issues, can we temper or avoid for-profit involvement in wars or is it
inevitable? What are we to make of arms companies’ CSR efforts, and the
various soft law instruments that have emerged on the topic?
Chaired by Grietje Baars, The City Law School.
21 April: 18:30 start, followed by a drinks reception at 20:30
