This volume consists of 14 essays on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in an age of isolationism. Researchers from Asia, Canada, Europe, and Qatar consider the changing global environment and corporate social responsibility; the adoption of a service-dominant logic perspective as a general framework for firms to conceive and operationalize their corporate social responsibility; how mainstream and critical approaches in international political economy explain the crises of liberalism and the rise of populism and far-right politics and what these approaches anticipate for the future of globalization; the role of management education and teaching the values of wholeness, forethought, solidarity, and compassion; employees experiences of workplace violence and the importance of raising awareness of stress, well-being, leadership, and corporate social responsibility; and whether Africa would be better off in an isolationist context. Regional perspectives follow, on the corporate social responsibility challenges of Malaysian nongovernmental organizations; the implementation and challenges of the Malaysian government's "No Plastic Bag Day" campaign; the relationship between workplace violence, employee well-being, and governance in the forestry industry in Canada; the corporate social responsibility of Chinese enterprises along the Belt and Road; and dimensions of orientations that leaders practice while fulfilling their responsibility in envisioning corporate social responsibility in India. The book ends with case studies of corporate social responsibility and Sustainable Development Goals in the fashion and textile industry; the challenges of the coffee franchise industry in incorporating corporate social responsibility in Malaysia; and the collaboration between industry, academia, and education in embedding sustainability across the hairdressing profession.
