This paper is based on a case study of the European space industry as it is organized in the postcolonial setting of French Guiana. It brings the state back into political corporate social responsibility (CSR) by showing how government shapes interactions between business and local communities, more specifically around CSR issues. The paper opens new research avenues in political CSR by making two significant contributions. First, it identifies postcolonial contexts as instances in which government, rather than stepping back, gets actively involved to impede the emergence of CSR. This demonstration is made by building on a conceptualization of the marginalized local community as comprising citizens—rather than mere stakeholders—who expect their government to defend their rights vis-à-vis business. Second, by using a longitudinal approach that provides access to dynamics of interactions over time, the paper develops a typology of mechanisms that support a government’s changing role in CSR. Over a 50-year period, such government is shown to have played the roles of impeding the emergence of CSR, partnering for CSR, symbolically mandating CSR, and finally, disengaging from CSR.

阻碍企业社会责任：重新审视政府在塑造企业中的作用——边缘化的当地社区关系

本文基于欧洲航天工业的案例研究，因为它是在法属圭亚那的后殖民环境中组织的。它通过展示政府如何塑造企业与当地社区之间的互动，更具体地说是围绕企业社会责任问题，将国家带回政治企业社会责任 (CSR)。该论文通过做出两个重要贡献，为政治 CSR 开辟了新的研究途径。首先，它将后殖民背景确定为政府积极参与阻碍企业社会责任出现的实例，而不是后退。这种示范是建立在边缘化当地社区的概念之上的，即由公民组成——而不仅仅是利益相关者——他们希望政府保护他们相对于企业的权利。第二，通过使用纵向方法，提供随时间变化的互动动态，本文开发了支持政府在企业社会责任中不断变化的角色的机制类型。在 50 年的时间里，这样的政府被证明扮演了阻碍 CSR 出现、为 CSR 合作、象征性地强制 CSR 以及最终脱离 CSR 的角色。
