1	Corporate social responsibility in the Canadian mining sector: the case of Guatemala's Marlin Mine. Nicoll, Georgina Elsie 30 January 2012 (has links) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become something of a "buzz word" for many corporations, including those in the Canadian mining sector. This term merits examination with a critical eye, since the strategic uses of voluntary CSR initiatives go far beyond the altruistic desire to improve corporate practices in the areas of human rights and environmental protection. Through a case study of the protest movement against Goldcorp Inc‘s Marlin Mine in Guatemala, I will demonstrate that CSR alone, without a supporting framework of binding and enforceable regulations, is not enough to guarantee the protection of human and community rights in the global south. / Graduate CSR Corporate Social Responsibility Guatemala Goldcorp mining social movements agenda setting human rights community rights indigenous rights
