Trust, legality and exceptionalismTrust is uniquely human and foundation for human cooperation. Today, the Rule of Law is highly relevant to build trust. The current and growing competition between USA and China as two superpowers reduces trust. It is linked to efforts of superiority, especially visible in the sectors of technology, military, trade, research, education and international standard setting and - especially in the U.S. - substantiated with the claim of exceptionalism. This book looks at the concepts, cases and expression of exceptionalism in the current geopolitical context, in the USA and in different countries, which see themselves as exceptional with an exceptional mission. The book offers ethical benchmarks to build trust and to react to notions of exceptionalism.

CSR report on Chinese business overseas operationCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to corporate behaviour that pro-actively meets the ethical expectations of the public and voluntarily contributes to the society. The global CSR movement yields numerous initiatives, standards and legislation. Owing to the need for development as well as the reform and opening-up policy, mounting Chinese enterprises are “going global” with large amounts of capital. Nevertheless, some foreign governments cast doubt on China’s strategic intent, and the general public is dissatisfied with Chinese CSR performance. Chinese enterprises must strengthen their capacities regarding risk control, internal governance, public communication etc., so as to achieve mutual benefit with multi-stakeholders and build an image of responsible global citizenship.

Chinese civil societyThe very notion of Chinese civil society could be a subject of controversy: media control, social inequality, judicial independence are hitherto a subject of critical scrutiny. Although conventional media (newspaper, radio and TV) has been under grip by the Chinese communist party, e-participation (micro-blogs, Chinese netizens) has made its way into every corner of China, unlike in other socialist countries such as North Korea and Cuba. Despite the ambivalence of government attitudes at different stages, the positive role of civil organizations has been repeatedly affirmed by various documents and political leaders in China. The paradigm of Chinese NGOs is experiencing an efflorescence. It is too early to foretell in which trajectory they shall evolve. However, one thing is certain: they are growing and reconfiguring, but they do not have to, nor might they ever, meet the standard definition in the liberal western textbook.

发达国家企业社会责任实践的新趋势Abstract in Chinese: 进入二十一世纪以来，发达国家在企业社会责任实践上出现了一些新趋势。政府对企业社会责任的推进无论是在动机上还是在策略上都从单纯地解决社会问题转向提升国家竞争力、实现社会团结、促进社会和环境的可持续发展，并且在推进企业社会责任时由单纯的国内治理转向全球治理。企业在履行社会责任时，倾向于履行战略型的社会责任，并且将对社会责任的履行同社会责任投资、参与公共治理等结合起来，通过创造共享价值等形式实现企业和社会的双赢。Abstract in English: In the first decade of 21th century, some new trends emerged in the practice of corporate social responsibility, both for the governments and companies of the developed countries. Governments change their motives and strategies from solely solving social problems to promoting national competitiveness，national solidarity and the sustainable development of both society and environment. Companies tend to fulfill the strategic social responsibility such as creating the shared value, which is combined to social responsible investment and public governance, in order to achieve the win-win situation between society and companies.

企业社会责任的道德基础探究Abstract in Chinese: 道德基础问题是企业社会责任研究的一个重要议题，在这一问题上，弗里德曼等人以企业利己主义为股东至上论进行辩护，弗里曼等人以义务论为利益相关者理论进行辩护，但这两种辩护都存在各自问题而不足以为企业社会责任提供合理的道德基础。后果主义理论通过为波特等人提出的创造共享价值的企业社会责任观进行辩护，以及为企业和其他社会成员之间利益冲突的解决提供合理辩护，显示了其优越性。Abstract in English: The problem of moral foundation is an important issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR) study. Business egoism is used to argue for shareholder theory by Friedman, and deontology is used to argue for stakeholder theory by Freeman. Both of these two theories cannot provide reasonable argument for moral foundation of CSR. By arguing for the “creating shared value” CSR advanced by Porter and for the solution of conflicts of interest between corporate and other members of society, Consequentialism shows its advantage.

当代中国企业社会责任的历史演进分析Abstract in Chinese: 企业社会责任是提升企业竞争力的要素之一，反映着企业的道德水平。中华人民共和国成立以来，中国企业的社会责任观呈递进状态。主要经历了三个阶段，即计划经济时代的政治义务等同于社会责任、改革开放初期到二十世纪末现代社会责任意识的觉醒和新世纪以来企业社会责任的清晰与自觉。Abstract in English: Corporate Social Responsibility is one of the core elements of enterprise competitiveness and it reflects the moral level of corporations. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Corporate Social Responsibility of Chinese enterprises experienced three progressive eras. In the era of planned economy, Corporate Social Responsibility is the same as political obligation. From the beginning of reform and opening to the end of twentieth Century, the consciousness of modern Corporate Social Responsibility was awaked. In the new era, Corporate Social Responsibility is performed more consciously. [pp. 327-328]

经济伦理视野中的企业社会责任及其担当与评价次序Abstract in Chinese: 从经济伦理学的视阈审视，将“经济责任”与“伦理责任”设定为企业社会责任中存有主次与先后的不同层序，是长期以来“经济”与“伦理”的分割式理解在企业社会责任问题上的显现。经济与伦理本质上是内在统一的。从这一立场出发，企业社会责任是经济责任与伦理责任内在统一、相互交融的“经济—伦理”责任。与此相对应，企业社会责任担当与评价的次序应遵循的原则是：企业在利润获取层面承担的社会责任优先于利润分配层面承担的社会责任。Abstract in English: From the view of economic ethics, it is the obvious exemplification of the separately understanding with “economic” and “ethics” in CSR that “economic responsibility” and “ethical responsibility” are assumed to have different primary and secondary sequence. In essence, economics and ethics have inherent unity. From this standpoint, CSR is an “economic-ethical” responsibility, in which the economic responsibility and ethical responsibility are combined as an inherent unity and also interacted with each other. Correspondingly, the undertaking of CSR and the order of evaluation should follow the principle that CSR of profit obtain have high priority. [pp. 313-314]
