In this essay we put forward the notion of corporate social imperialism to encapsulate our reflections and lived experience on Political Corporate Social Responsibility (PCSR) practices in the Alto Biobío region of central-southern Chile. Two of the authors who are Indignenous Mapuche-Pehuenche and from the region led a struggle against the siting of the emblematic Ralco dam in early 1990s. The megaproject was eventually pushed through and 90 families were resettled elsewhere. The Spanish energy corporation and its foundation, in line with PCSR played a prominent role in the local development and resettlement of the families. However, since the rehousing we have witnessed the community decay as a result of widespread alcoholism, depression, suicide, domestic violence, whilst our ancestral practices and spirituality have been colonized by the evangelical church. We finish by offering recommendations to managers and policymakers on how to possibly avoid the pitfalls of corporate social imperialism.

政治社会责任的悲剧性失败：来自智利土著 Pehuenche 高地的诅咒判决

在本文中，我们提出了企业社会帝国主义的概念，以概括我们对智利中南部 Alto Biobío 地区政治企业社会责任 (PCSR) 实践的反思和生活经验。1990 年代初，两位来自该地区的土著马普切-佩胡恩切（Indignenous Mapuche-Pehuenche）发起了反对标志性拉尔科大坝选址的斗争。大型项目最终被推进，90 个家庭被重新安置在别处。西班牙能源公司及其基金会根据 PCSR 在当地发展和家庭重新安置方面发挥了突出作用。然而，自从重新安置以来，我们目睹了广泛的酗酒、抑郁、自杀、家庭暴力、而我们祖先的做法和灵性已被福音派教会殖民。最后，我们向管理人员和政策制定者提供了有关如何避免企业社会帝国主义陷阱的建议。
