TL;DR: By showing how CSR practices are used to stymie evidence-based government regulation, the article underlines the importance of highlighting and developing matrices to assess the negative social impacts of CSR.
Abstract: Since scholarly interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) has primarily focused on the synergies between social and economic performance, our understanding of how (and the conditions under which) companies use CSR to produce policy outcomes that work against public welfare has remained comparatively underdeveloped. In particular, little is known about how corporate decision-makers privately reconcile the conflicts between public and private interests, even though this is likely to be relevant to understanding the limitations of CSR as a means of aligning business activity with the broader public interest. This study addresses this issue using internal tobacco industry documents to explore British-American Tobacco’s (BAT) thinking on CSR and its effects on the company’s CSR Programme. The article presents a three-stage model of CSR development, based on Sykes and Matza’s theory of techniques of neutralization, which links together: how BAT managers made sense of the company’s declining political authority in the mid-1990s; how they subsequently justified the use of CSR as a tool of stakeholder management aimed at diffusing the political impact of public health advocates by breaking up political constituencies working towards evidence-based tobacco regulation; and how CSR works ideologically to shape stakeholders’ perceptions of the relative merits of competing approaches to tobacco control. Our analysis has three implications for research and practice. First, it underlines the importance of approaching corporate managers’ public comments on CSR critically and situating them in their economic, political and historical contexts. Second, it illustrates the importance of focusing on the political aims and effects of CSR. Third, by showing how CSR practices are used to stymie evidence-based government regulation, the article underlines the importance of highlighting and developing matrices to assess the negative social impacts of CSR.

TL;DR: Health governance concerns the actions and means adopted by a society to organize itself in the promotion and protection of the health of its population as mentioned in this paper, which can be defined as the actions, means, and policies adopted by the society to promote collective action and deliver collective solutions in pursuit of common goals.
Abstract: This chapter begins with a brief discussion of why Global Health Governance has become such a subject of discussion and debate. It examines globalization as an historical process characterised by changes in the nature of human interaction across a range of social spheres including the economic, political, technological, cultural and environmental. In broad terms, governance can be defined as the actions and means adopted by a society to promote collective action and deliver collective solutions in pursuit of common goals. Health governance concerns the actions and means adopted by a society to organize itself in the promotion and protection of the health of its population. Globalization from the late twentieth century has emphasised even more poignantly the need for greater attention to the basic determinants of health including so-called non-health issue areas. The values of management-oriented approaches to corporate governance have entered the health lexicon in the guise of clinical governance.
