Describe and explain the evolution of CSR. How does the "new CSR" that emerged in the 1990s differ from forerunners such as philanthropy and "old" social responsibility of business? What economic, social and political changes from the 1970s-1990s might account for the changes in the nature of CSR? To what extent can it be seen as cynical effort to co-opt or deflect critics of business (as left-wing critics of CSR suggest) or as a craven or misguided effort to appease critics of business (as right-wing critics of CSR suggest)? How much will it cost?
