The Role of International and Intermediary Organizations

When we pose the debate on public policies and CSR, it is very usual to start from the assumption that this is a matter that affects the relationship between corporations, governments and social organizations. However, a closer look at what is happening in the various states of Europe reveals that a crucial part in the implementation of these public policies is played by international organizations that promote the development of CSR on a global scale and the intermediary organizations that have appeared in some countries and whose activity lies midway between government and business. Both have a very important part to play in the development of CSR public policies, as governments seek frameworks of legitimation and mediation for the implementation of their policies.
