Emerging and developing states are home to powerful corporations capable of deploying economic activities on a global scale through the rapid pace of technological change and globalisation. But such corporations have to date been largely overlooked in the field of business and human rights. Treatment of such corporations has typically been in the context of supply chain studies, as subsidiaries of corporations from economically developed Western states. This book takes a radically different approach. It aims to investigate the conditions under which the European Union and its Member States regulate and remedy human rights violations by corporations from emerging and developing states. Stemming from the hypothesis that the EU intends to play a central role, Aleydis Nissen explores how the EU and its Member States attempt to ensure that EU-based businesses are not undercut by emerging competition, drawing on global examples to illustrate this developing phenomenon.

'… a commendable scholarly contribution, offering a rich tapestry of insights into the laws, economics, and politics shaping the evolving European framework on business and human rights. The book's strengths lie not only in its methodological diversity but also in its ability to bridge theory and practice, making it an indispensable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.' Leonard Feld, Common Market Law Review
