Review

'The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Business provides a thorough analysis of the complex issues associated with business and human rights by some of the most prominent scholars in the field. This book is integral to legal scholars and advocates for understanding both the shortcomings in the UNGP and current mechanisms for protecting human rights and the pathways to reforming the human rights and business paradigm in a way that obligates corporations and states to treat human rights as an objective in itself, rather than a hindrance to profit maximization.' -- Sue Silverman, International Journal of Legal Information'The Research Handbook is a timely, welcome and extensive research publication, with chapters from experts, which looks both at the field of business and human rights (BHR) and deconstructs and critiques the guiding principles.' -- Krishnendu Mukherjee, Journal of the Indian Law Institute'The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Business surveys many of the most important issues that anyone interested in ensuring human rights protections must understand and address. It challenges the current state of the field, calls into question 'co-opting' human rights rhetoric to advance economic interests, and offers some correctives to counter the increasing corporate capture of policy making processes. The contributions contained in this volume serve to explain and to expand a fast moving and growing field of inquiry exploring the interactions between human rights and different areas of law. The Handbook is a critical reference for anyone who seeks to better understand the past and future of business and human rights.'--Erika George, University of Utah, US'The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Business is simply the most magisterial treatment of this fast growing, but challenging, field I have seen in the last 20 years; rich in its diversity of opinions, comprehensive in its coverage of issues, and commanding as regards the depth and rigour of each contribution. There is a refreshing authenticity in the voices expressed in this Handbook by the various authors, all of whom have worked in this field for a considerable period of time. The Handbook is work of outstanding scholarly standard that should earn prime space on the bookshelves of all those interested in policy making, implementation and enforcement of standards, research and postgraduate teaching on business and human rights.'--Danwood Chirwa, University of Cape Town, South Africa'This book provides vital and intelligent insights into the rapidly developing area of business and human rights. The chapters cover a broad variety of key issues and are written by some of the leading experts in their fields, who provide excellent analysis and critiques of the policies, practices and law in this area. It should be an essential part of corporate, government, international organisation, civil society and academic reading - and action - in this area.'--Robert McCorquodale, University of Nottingham and Brick Court Chambers, UK
