This edited book by Mills and Karp brings together political, legal and moral perspectives on the responsibilities of human rights protection in world politics today.

Corporate Security Responsibility? focuses on the role of private business in zones of conflict. The book contributes to closing the gap between research on Global Governance and Peace and Conflict Studies. It applies a systematic research design to the study of corporate governance contributions to peace and security across a number of cases.
