CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AMONG LAW, ECONOMY AND POLITICS OF GLOBAL SOCIETY: environmental disasters and reflexivity

This research has the main objective of researching how corporate social responsibility can facilitate the observation of reflexivity between the legal, political and economic systems of the global society, and how its variability of meaning can facilitate the understanding of the reflexivity between such systems, allowing a systemic learning by the Law itself. To do so, it was divided into three moments: in the first section, what will be sought is to understand the basic notions of corporate social responsibility, using, for this, the paradigmatic cases of Mariana, Bhopal and Chernobyl. In the second section, we will study the variability of meaning in corporate social responsibility, observing it as a concept that goes beyond mere compliance with laws by corporations. Finally, in the last section, the interest of the work converges in the perspective of the ways of learning, by the Law system, of the performance of corporate social responsibility. As a hypothesis, the work considers that the functionally differentiated society has been taking greater responsibility of companies, especially with regard to the environmental issue, which leads to the establishment of new standards of conduct, opening space for the manifestation of international organizations. As methodological procedures, the constructivist systemic method is used here, with a monographic approach and a bibliographical-documental technique.
