Özet
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has traditionally been understood in terms of companies’ voluntary ethical choices and contributions to society. This understanding, however, has become insufficient to explain the growing influence of corporations on public policy-making, the protection of human rights, and processes of global governance. This transformation has brought to the fore the concept of political corporate social responsibility (PCSR), which captures the political implications of corporate social responsibility and calls for an examination of its significance from a public law perspective. This article explores the role that PCSR may play in sustaining democracy, the rule of law, and human rights within constitutional democracies. To this end, sustainable constitutionalism is considered both in its more established meaning, associated with sustainable development, environmental constitutionalism, and green constitutionalism, and in a broader sense encompassing the sustainability of the constitutional system, democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights. PCSR is further examined through the participatory, justificatory, and accountability-oriented perspective of deliberative democracy, as well as in light of the changing forms of human rights obligations. The central argument of the article is that PCSR should not be understood as a model that removes the state’s primary human rights obligations or transfers them to private actors, but rather as a complementary public law framework that renders the public influence of private actors legally visible, open to deliberation, and subject to limitation. Accordingly, the article employs a conceptual and normative legal methodology to examine the legal and political dimensions of the relationships among the state, private actors, and local authorities in key policy areas such as migration, climate, working life, and social security.
