Critical scholarship often presents corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a reflection or embodiment of neoliberalism. Against this sort of sweeping political characterization we argue that CSR can indeed be considered a liberal concept but that it embodies a “varieties of liberalism.” Building theoretically on the work of Michael Freeden on liberal languages, John Ruggie and Karl Polanyi on embedded forms of liberalism, and Michel Foucault on the distinction between classical liberalism and neoliberalism, we provide a conceptual treatment and mapping of the ideological positions that constitute the bulk of modern scholarly CSR debate. Thus, we distinguish between embedded liberalism, classical liberalism, neoliberalism, and re-embedded liberalism. We develop these four orientations in turn and show how they are engaged in “battles of ideas” over the meaning and scope of corporate responsibilities—and how they all remain relevant for an understanding of contemporary debates and developments in the field of CSR and corporate sustainability.

企业责任的意识形态:从新自由主义到“自由主义的多样性”

批判性学术通常将企业社会责任(CSR)视为新自由主义的反映或体现。针对这种笼统的政治特征,我们认为企业社会责任确实可以被视为一个自由概念,但它体现了“自由主义的多样性”。在理论上建立在迈克尔·弗里登关于自由主义语言、约翰·鲁吉和卡尔·波兰尼关于自由主义的嵌入形式以及米歇尔·福柯关于古典自由主义和新自由主义之间区别的工作的基础上,我们提供了构成主体的意识形态立场的概念处理和映射现代学术企业社会责任辩论。因此,我们区分嵌入式自由主义古典自由主义新自由主义重新嵌入自由主义。我们依次发展这四个方向,并展示它们如何参与关于企业责任的含义和范围的“思想之战”——以及它们如何与理解企业社会责任和企业可持续发展领域的当代辩论和发展保持相关性.
