    ABOUT THIS ISSUE

    Corporate citizenship protagonists - whether academics or practitioners
    - are increasingly being challenged with regard to the relevance of
    corporate citizenship as a driver for global change. This special
    edition of The Journal of Corporate Citizenship directly addresses this
    challenge, focused on the theme ‘Is corporate citizenship making a
    difference’?

    This key question has particular relevance in Africa, where special
    efforts will be required to meet the Millennium Development Goals. The
    papers deal with practical issues such as the livelihood impacts of
    codes of practice on workers and how one measures the impact of
    corporate citizenship at the local level in zones of conflict. The
    edition also deals with pertinent and arguably controversial issues
    such as ‘capitalism with a human face’ and ‘testing the limits of
    inclusive capitalism’.
