| Abstract: | Public opinion surveys consistently show that the majority of people in many countries believe that corporations should abide by recognized standards in business ethics, human rights, labour practices and environmental impacts.

This article argues for a multi-layered regulatory approach at national and international levels, using examples from the debate in Australia over three issues: the 1998 draft Multilateral Agreement on Investment; the experience in Australia of international and company voluntary codes. |
