Abstract
NGOs and Social Responsibility re-examines the relationship between an NGO and a company and provides lucid, and new, insight into the potential benefits and pitfalls of such a relationship. The various contributors speak from different perspectives and different locations around the world and have different experiences and interpretations to offer. The results therefore present a diverse but balanced picture of the potential of  any relationship between NGOs, companies and corporate social responsibility.
