Abstract
In recent decades thousands of campaigns have been mounted to encourage or force corporations to improve the social, environmental, and economic impacts of their activities. This article, emphasizing especially the attempts to affect transnational corporations in developing countries, identifies these activities as part of a global corporate accountability movement. This article seeks to encourage the various nongovernmental actors in this movement to interact more, to learn from one another, and to build on each other’s strengths.
